• static let notificationResized: Int

  Sent when the node changes size. Use size to get the new size.

• static let notificationScrollBegin: Int

  Sent when this node is inside a ScrollContainer which has begun being scrolled when dragging the scrollable area with a touch event. This notification is not sent when scrolling by dragging the scrollbar, scrolling with the mouse wheel or scrolling with keyboard/gamepad events.

• static let notificationScrollEnd: Int

  Sent when this node is inside a ScrollContainer which has stopped being scrolled when dragging the scrollable area with a touch event. This notification is not sent when scrolling by dragging the scrollbar, scrolling with the mouse wheel or scrolling with keyboard/gamepad events.

Instance members

• var autoTranslate: Bool

  Toggles if any text should automatically change to its translated version depending on the current locale.

• var clipContents: Bool

• var customMinimumSize: Vector2

  The minimum size of the node’s bounding rectangle. If you set it to a value greater than (0, 0), the node’s bounding rectangle will always have at least this size, even if its content is smaller. If it’s set to (0, 0), the node sizes automatically to fit its content, be it a texture or child nodes.

• var focusEntered: SimpleSignal

  Emitted when the node gains focus.

• var focusExited: SimpleSignal

  Emitted when the node loses focus.

• var focusMode: Control.FocusMode

• var mouseDefaultCursorShape: Control.CursorShape

  The default cursor shape for this control. Useful for Godot plugins and applications or games that use the system’s mouse cursors.

• var mouseEntered: SimpleSignal

  Emitted when the mouse cursor enters the control’s (or any child control’s) visible area, that is not occluded behind other Controls or Windows, provided its mouseFilter lets the event reach it and regardless if it’s currently focused or not.

• var mouseExited: SimpleSignal

  Emitted when the mouse cursor leaves the control’s (and all child control’s) visible area, that is not occluded behind other Controls or Windows, provided its mouseFilter lets the event reach it and regardless if it’s currently focused or not.

• var mouseFilter: Control.MouseFilter

  Controls whether the control will be able to receive mouse button input events through _guiInput(event:) and how these events should be handled. Also controls whether the control can receive the [signal mouse_entered], and [signal mouse_exited] signals. See the constants to learn what each does.

• var mouseForcePassScrollEvents: Bool

  When enabled, scroll wheel events processed by _guiInput(event:) will be passed to the parent control even if mouseFilter is set to .stop. As it defaults to true, this allows nested scrollable containers to work out of the box.

• var resized: SimpleSignal

  Emitted when the control changes size.

• var rotation: Double

  The node’s rotation around its pivot, in radians. See pivotOffset to change the pivot’s position.

• var rotationDegrees: Double

  Helper property to access rotation in degrees instead of radians.

• var scale: Vector2

  The node’s scale, relative to its size. Change this property to scale the node around its pivotOffset. The Control’s tooltipText will also scale according to this value.

• var shortcutContext: Node?

  The Node which must be a parent of the focused Control for the shortcut to be activated. If null, the shortcut can be activated when any control is focused (a global shortcut). This allows shortcuts to be accepted only when the user has a certain area of the GUI focused.

• var sizeFlagsChanged: SimpleSignal

  Emitted when one of the size flags changes. See sizeFlagsHorizontal and sizeFlagsVertical.

• var sizeFlagsHorizontal: Control.SizeFlags

  Tells the parent Container nodes how they should resize and place the node on the X axis. Use a combination of the SizeFlags constants to change the flags. See the constants to learn what each does.

• var sizeFlagsStretchRatio: Double

  If the node and at least one of its neighbors uses the .sizeExpand size flag, the parent Container will let it take more or less space depending on this property. If this node has a stretch ratio of 2 and its neighbor a ratio of 1, this node will take two thirds of the available space.

• var sizeFlagsVertical: Control.SizeFlags

  Tells the parent Container nodes how they should resize and place the node on the Y axis. Use a combination of the SizeFlags constants to change the flags. See the constants to learn what each does.

• var themeChanged: SimpleSignal

  Emitted when the notificationThemeChanged notification is sent.

• var themeTypeVariation: StringName

  The name of a theme type variation used by this Control to look up its own theme items. When empty, the class name of the node is used (e.g. [code skip-lint]Button` for the Button control), as well as the class names of all parent classes (in order of inheritance).

• var tooltipText: String

  The default tooltip text. The tooltip appears when the user’s mouse cursor stays idle over this control for a few moments, provided that the mouseFilter property is not .ignore. The time required for the tooltip to appear can be changed with the ProjectSettings/gui/timers/tooltipDelaySec option. See also getTooltip(atPosition:).
