bindingSourceSelectionMode This property controls whether every element in the list will get its data source setup automatically to the correct item in the collection's source.
headerTitle This property controls the text of the foldout header when using showFoldoutHeader.
makeFooter This callback allows the user to make their own footer for this control.
makeHeader This callback allows the user to make their own header for this control.
makeNoneElement This callback allows the user to set a Visual Element to replace the "List is empty" Label shown when the ListView is empty.

showFoldoutHeader This property controls whether the list view displays a header, in the form of a foldout that can be expanded or collapsed.
viewController The view controller for this view, cast as a BaseListViewController.
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.

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.

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.

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)
