delegatesFocusWhether the element should delegate the focus to its children.
focusableTrue if the element can be focused.
focusControllerReturn the focus controller for this element.
tabIndexAn integer used to sort focusables in the focus ring. Must be greater than or equal to zero.
cursorColorColor of the cursor.
cursorIndexThe current cursor position index in the text input field.
doubleClickSelectsWordControls whether double clicking selects the word under the mouse pointer or not.

tripleClickSelectsLineControls whether triple clicking selects the entire line under the mouse pointer or not.
childCount Number of child elements in this object's contentContainer
contentContainer child elements are added to this element, usually this
customStyleReturns the custom style properties accessor for this element.
enabledInHierarchyReturns true if the VisualElement is enabled in its own hierarchy.
enabledSelfReturns true if the VisualElement is enabled locally.
experimentalReturns the UIElements experimental interfaces.
generateVisualContentCalled when the VisualElement visual contents need to be (re)generated.
hierarchy Access to this element physical hierarchy
pickingModeDetermines if this element can be pick during mouseEvents or IPanel.Pick queries.
resolvedStyleReturns the VisualElement resolved style values.
scheduleRetrieves this VisualElement's IVisualElementScheduler
styleReference to the style object of this element.
styleSheetsReturns a VisualElementStyleSheetSet that manipulates style sheets attached to this element.
this[int] Access to this element physical hierarchy
tooltipText to display inside an information box after the user hovers the element for a small amount of time.
usageHintsA combination of hint values that specify high-level intended usage patterns for the VisualElement. This property can only be set when the VisualElement is not yet part of a Panel. Once part of a Panel, this property becomes effectively read-only, and attempts to change it will throw an exception. The specification of proper UsageHints drives the system to make better decisions on how to process or accelerate certain operations based on the anticipated usage pattern. Note that those hints do not affect behavioral or visual results, but only affect the overall performance of the panel and the elements within. Generally it advised to always consider specifying the proper UsageHints, but keep in mind that some UsageHints may be internally ignored under certain conditions (e.g. due to hardware limitations on the target platform).
userDataThis property can be used to associate application-specific user data with this VisualElement.
viewDataKeyUsed for view data persistence (ie. tree expanded states, scroll position, zoom level).

Public Methods

SetValueWithoutNotifyAllow to set a value without being notified of the change, if any.
HandleEventHandle an event, most often by executing the callbacks associated with the event.
HasBubbleUpHandlersReturn true if event handlers for the event propagation BubbleUp phase have been attached on this object.
HasTrickleDownHandlersReturns true if event handlers, for the event propagation TrickleDown phase, are attached to this object.
RegisterCallbackAdds an event handler to the instance. If the event handler has already been registered for the same phase (either TrickleDown or BubbleUp) then this method has no effect.
SendEventSends an event to the event handler.
UnregisterCallbackRemove callback from the instance.
BlurTell the element to release the focus.
FocusAttempt to give the focus to this element.
SelectAllSelects all the text.

ChildrenReturns the elements from its contentContainer
ClearRemove all child elements from this element's contentContainer
ContainsReturns true if the element is a direct child of this VisualElement
ElementAtRetrieves the child element at position
EnableInClassListEnables or disables the class with the given name.
