Static Properties

disabledUssClassName USS class name of local disabled elements.

Properties

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.
capabilitiesThe GraphElement's capabilities.
elementTypeColorThe color used for the MiniMap view.
layerThe GraphElement's layer in the graph.
selectedTrue if the GraphElement is currently selected.
showInMiniMapWhether the element is shown in the minimap.
titleThe GraphElement's title.
childCount Number of child elements in this object's contentContainer.
contentContainer Child elements are added to it, usually this is the same as the element itself.
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.
dataSource Assigns a data source to this VisualElement which overrides any inherited data source. This data source is inherited by all children.
dataSourcePath Path from the data source to the value.
dataSourceType The possible type of data source assignable to this VisualElement. This information is only used by the UI Builder as a hint to provide some completion to the data source path field when the effective data source cannot be specified at design time.
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 Sets the VisualElement style values.
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, such as tree expanded states, scroll position, or 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)

Public Methods

HasBubbleUpHandlers Return true if event handlers for the event propagation BubbleUp phase have been attached on this object.
HasTrickleDownHandlers Returns true if event handlers, for the event propagation TrickleDown phase, are attached to this object.
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.
RegisterCallbackOnce 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. The event handler is automatically unregistered after it has been invoked exactly once.
UnregisterCallback Remove callback from the instance.
Blur Tell the element to release the focus.
Focus Attempt to give the focus to this element.
GetGlobalCenterGet the GraphElement's center point.
GetPositionGet the GraphElement position.
HitTestSee if point is over the GraphElement.
IsAscendableChecks if the GraphElement is automatically brought to front when selected.
IsCopiableChecks whether the GraphElement is copiable.
IsDroppableThe GraphElement is drag&droppable.
IsGroupableChecks whether the GraphElement is groupable.
IsMovableThe GraphElement is movable.
IsRenamableThe GraphElement is renamable.
IsResizableThe GraphElement is resizable.
IsSelectableThe GraphElement is selectable.
IsSelectedThe GraphElement is currently selected in specific container.

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 UIElements.BaseField_1.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.
PlaceInFront Places this element right after the sibling element in their parent children list. If the element and the sibling position overlap, the element will be visually in front of its sibling.
Remove Removes this child from the contentContainerhierarchy.
