Description

Base class for UI views. Has properties for doing layout: Width, Height, Margin, Alignment and Offset.

Dependency Properties

Name	Type	Description
Alignment	ElementAlignment	Used to align the view relative to the layout parent region it resides in.
Alpha	float	Can be used to adjust the alpha color of this view and all its children. E.g. used for fade in/out animations. Is separate from and different from the background color of the view as it affects the children as well.
BubbleNotifyChildLayoutChanged	bool	Boolean indicating if parent always should be notified when the child changes layout.
DisableLayoutUpdate	bool	Boolean indicating if automatic layout updates for this view should be disabled. When disabled the view doesn’t call UpdateLayout() when properties such as Width, Height, etc. changes.
EnableScriptEvents	bool	Boolean indicating if unity script events (Update, LateUpdate, Awake, etc) should be relayed to the view code-behind through the corresponding methods that can be overriden.
GameObject	GameObject	GameObject in the hierarchy that corresponds to the view.
Height	ElementSize	The height of the view in pixels or percents.
IgnoreFlip	bool	Used when doing localization override default behavior of flipping the view Right to Left or Left to Rigth.
IgnoreObject	bool	Boolean indicating if the view should be ignored. Ignored objects don’t run any load logic and don’t respond to property changed events.
IsActive	bool	Boolean indicating if the view is active. Deactivated views deactivates corresponding game object, components, renderers and scripts.
IsVisible	bool	Boolean indicating if view is visible or hidden. Invisible views still take up space but aren’t interactable and have their alpha set to 0.
LoadMode	LoadMode	Enum flags indicating when and how the view should be loaded by the framework. Can be changed when e.g. the view is to be loaded on-demand.
Margin	ElementMargin	Adding margins to a view changes the size of the area in which its content resides, but it does not change the width or height of the view.
Offset	ElementMargin	Determines the offset of the view.
OffsetFromParent	ElementMargin	Offset set by a parent view. Used by views like Group to arrange children without changing their own Offset values.
OverrideHeight	ElementSize	Overrides regular Height value. Used to e.g. automatically size items without changing the default Height value set.
OverrideWidth	ElementSize	Overrides regular Width value. Used to e.g. automatically size items without changing the default Width value set.
Pivot	Vector2	The pivot point of the view.
Position	Vector3	Directly sets the local position of the view relative to parent. Position otherwise set using the Alignment and Offset properties.
RaycastBlockMode	RaycastBlockMode	Enum indicating if raycasts should be blocked.
Rotation	Quaternion	Rotation of the view.
Scale	Vector3	Scale of the view.
UseFastShader	bool	Boolean indicating if the default UI shader should be replaced by a simpler and faster one. The faster shader does not support masking and clipping.
Width	ElementSize	The width of the view in pixels or percents.
