Properties

contentContainer Returns the content container for the BaseVerticalCollectionView. Because the BaseVerticalCollectionView control automatically manages its content, this always returns null.
fixedItemHeight The height of a single item in the list, in pixels.
horizontalScrollingEnabled This property controls whether the collection view shows a horizontal scroll bar when its content does not fit in the visible area.
itemsSource The data source for collection items.
reorderable Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the user can drag list items to reorder them.
selectedIndex Returns or sets the selected item's index in the data source. If multiple items are selected, returns the first selected item's index. If multiple items are provided, sets them all as selected.
selectedIndices Returns the indices of selected items in the data source. Always returns an enumerable, even if no item is selected, or a single item is selected.
selectedItem Returns the selected item from the data source. If multiple items are selected, returns the first selected item.
selectedItems Returns the selected items from the data source. Always returns an enumerable, even if no item is selected, or a single item is selected.
selectionType Controls the selection type.
showAlternatingRowBackgrounds This property controls whether the background colors of collection view rows alternate. Takes a value from the AlternatingRowBackground enum.
showBorder Enable this property to display a border around the collection view.
viewController The view controller for this view.
virtualizationMethod The virtualization method to use for this collection when a scroll bar is visible. Takes a value from the CollectionVirtualizationMethod enum.
binding Binding object that will be updated.
bindingPath Path of the target property to be bound.
canGrabFocus Return true if the element can be focused.
delegatesFocus Whether the element should delegate the focus to its children.
focusable True if the element can be focused.
focusController Return the focus controller for this element.
tabIndex An integer used to sort focusables in the focus ring. Must be greater than or equal to zero.
childCount Number of child elements in this object's contentContainer.
contentRect The rectangle of the content area of the element, in the local space of the element.
customStyle Returns the custom style properties accessor for this element.
enabledInHierarchy Returns true if the VisualElement is enabled in its own hierarchy.
enabledSelf Returns true if the VisualElement is enabled locally.
experimental Returns the UIElements experimental interfaces.
generateVisualContent Called when the VisualElement visual contents need to be (re)generated.
hierarchy Access to this element physical hierarchy
languageDirection Indicates the directionality of the element's text. The value will propagate to the element's children.
layout The position and size of the VisualElement relative to its parent, as computed by the layout system.
localBound Returns a Rect representing the Axis-aligned Bounding Box (AABB) after applying the transform, but before applying the layout translation.
name The name of this VisualElement.
paddingRect The rectangle of the padding area of the element, in the local space of the element.
panel The panel onto which this VisualElement is attached.
parent The parent of this VisualElement.
pickingMode Determines if this element can be pick during mouseEvents or IPanel.Pick queries.
resolvedStyle Returns the VisualElement resolved style values.
schedule Retrieves this VisualElement's IVisualElementScheduler
style Reference to the style object of this element.
styleSheets Returns a VisualElementStyleSheetSet that manipulates style sheets attached to this element.
this[int] Retrieves the child element at a specific index.
tooltip Text to display inside an information box after the user hovers the element for a small amount of time. This is only supported in the Editor UI.
transform Returns a transform object for this VisualElement. ITransform
usageHints A 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. It's advised to always consider specifying the proper UsageHints, but keep in mind that some UsageHints might be internally ignored under certain conditions (e.g. due to hardware limitations on the target platform).
userData This property can be used to associate application-specific user data with this VisualElement.
viewDataKey Used for view data persistence (ie. tree expanded states, scroll position, zoom level).
visible Indicates whether or not this element should be rendered.
visualTreeAssetSource Stores the asset reference, if the generated element is cloned from a VisualTreeAsset.
worldBound Returns a Rect representing the Axis-aligned Bounding Box (AABB) after applying the world transform.
worldTransform Returns a matrix that cumulates the following operations (in order): -Local Scaling -Local Rotation -Local Translation -Layout Translation -Parent worldTransform (recursive definition - consider identity when there is no parent)

RegisterCallback Adds 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.
UnregisterCallback Remove callback from the instance.
Blur Tell the element to release the focus.
Focus Attempt to give the focus to this element.
Add Add an element to this element's contentContainer
AddToClassList Adds a class to the class list of the element in order to assign styles from USS. Note the class name is case-sensitive.

MarkDirtyRepaint Triggers a repaint of the VisualElement on the next frame. This method is called internally when a change occurs that requires a repaint, such as when BaseField.value is changed or the text in a Label. If you are implementing a custom control, you can call this method to trigger a repaint when a change occurs that requires a repaint such as when using generateVisualContent to render a mesh and the mesh data has now changed.
PlaceBehind Places this element right before the sibling element in their parent children list. If the element and the sibling position overlap, the element will be visually behind of its sibling.
