Control¶
Inherits: CanvasItem < Node < Object
Inherited By: BaseButton, ColorRect, Container, GraphEdit, ItemList, Label, LineEdit, MenuBar, NinePatchRect, Panel, Range, ReferenceRect, RichTextLabel, Separator, TabBar, TextEdit, TextureRect, Tree, VideoStreamPlayer
Base class for all GUI controls. Adapts its position and size based on its parent control.
Description¶
Base class for all UI-related nodes. Control features a bounding rectangle that defines its extents, an anchor position relative to its parent control or the current viewport, and offsets relative to the anchor. The offsets update automatically when the node, any of its parents, or the screen size change.
For more information on Godot's UI system, anchors, offsets, and containers, see the related tutorials in the manual. To build flexible UIs, you'll need a mix of UI elements that inherit from Control and Container nodes.
User Interface nodes and input
Godot propagates input events via viewports. Each Viewport is responsible for propagating InputEvents to their child nodes. As the SceneTree.root is a Window, this already happens automatically for all UI elements in your game.
Input events are propagated through the SceneTree from the root node to all child nodes by calling Node._input. For UI elements specifically, it makes more sense to override the virtual method _gui_input, which filters out unrelated input events, such as by checking z-order, mouse_filter, focus, or if the event was inside of the control's bounding box.
Call accept_event so no other node receives the event. Once you accept an input, it becomes handled so Node._unhandled_input will not process it.
Only one Control node can be in focus. Only the node in focus will receive events. To get the focus, call grab_focus. Control nodes lose focus when another node grabs it, or if you hide the node in focus.
Sets mouse_filter to MOUSE_FILTER_IGNORE to tell a Control node to ignore mouse or touch events. You'll need it if you place an icon on top of a button.
Theme resources change the Control's appearance. If you change the Theme on a Control node, it affects all of its children. To override some of the theme's parameters, call one of the add_theme_*_override methods, like add_theme_font_override. You can override the theme with the Inspector.
Note: Theme items are not Object properties. This means you can't access their values using Object.get and Object.set. Instead, use the get_theme_* and add_theme_*_override methods provided by this class.

Methods¶
Signals¶
focus_entered ( )
Emitted when the node gains focus.
focus_exited ( )
Emitted when the node loses focus.
gui_input ( InputEvent event )
Emitted when the node receives an InputEvent.
minimum_size_changed ( )
Emitted when the node's minimum size changes.
mouse_entered ( )
Emitted when the mouse cursor enters the control's visible area, that is not occluded behind other Controls or Windows, provided its mouse_filter lets the event reach it and regardless if it's currently focused or not.
Note: CanvasItem.z_index doesn't affect, which Control receives the signal.
mouse_exited ( )
Emitted when the mouse cursor leaves the control's visible area, that is not occluded behind other Controls or Windows, provided its mouse_filter lets the event reach it and regardless if it's currently focused or not.
Note: CanvasItem.z_index doesn't affect, which Control receives the signal.
Note: If you want to check whether the mouse truly left the area, ignoring any top nodes, you can use code like this:
func _on_mouse_exited():
if not Rect2(Vector2(), size).has_point(get_local_mouse_position()):
# Not hovering over area.
resized ( )
Emitted when the control changes size.
size_flags_changed ( )
Emitted when one of the size flags changes. See size_flags_horizontal and size_flags_vertical.
theme_changed ( )
Emitted when the NOTIFICATION_THEME_CHANGED notification is sent.

SizeFlags SIZE_EXPAND = 2
Tells the parent Container to let this node take all the available space on the axis you flag. If multiple neighboring nodes are set to expand, they'll share the space based on their stretch ratio. See size_flags_stretch_ratio. Use with size_flags_horizontal and size_flags_vertical.
SizeFlags SIZE_EXPAND_FILL = 3
Sets the node's size flags to both fill and expand. See SIZE_FILL and SIZE_EXPAND for more information.

enum MouseFilter:
MouseFilter MOUSE_FILTER_STOP = 0
The control will receive mouse movement input events and mouse button input events if clicked on through _gui_input. And the control will receive the mouse_entered and mouse_exited signals. These events are automatically marked as handled, and they will not propagate further to other controls. This also results in blocking signals in other controls.
MouseFilter MOUSE_FILTER_PASS = 1
The control will receive mouse movement input events and mouse button input events if clicked on through _gui_input. And the control will receive the mouse_entered and mouse_exited signals. If this control does not handle the event, the parent control (if any) will be considered, and so on until there is no more parent control to potentially handle it. This also allows signals to fire in other controls. If no control handled it, the event will be passed to Node._shortcut_input for further processing.
MouseFilter MOUSE_FILTER_IGNORE = 2
The control will not receive mouse movement input events and mouse button input events if clicked on through _gui_input. The control will also not receive the mouse_entered nor mouse_exited signals. This will not block other controls from receiving these events or firing the signals. Ignored events will not be handled automatically.

Sent when the node changes size. Use size to get the new size.
NOTIFICATION_MOUSE_ENTER = 41
Sent when the mouse cursor enters the control's visible area, that is not occluded behind other Controls or Windows, provided its mouse_filter lets the event reach it and regardless if it's currently focused or not.
Note: CanvasItem.z_index doesn't affect, which Control receives the notification.
NOTIFICATION_MOUSE_EXIT = 42
Sent when the mouse cursor leaves the control's visible area, that is not occluded behind other Controls or Windows, provided its mouse_filter lets the event reach it and regardless if it's currently focused or not.

Property Descriptions¶
float anchor_bottom = 0.0
Anchors the bottom edge of the node to the origin, the center, or the end of its parent control. It changes how the bottom offset updates when the node moves or changes size. You can use one of the Anchor constants for convenience.
float anchor_left = 0.0

float anchor_right = 0.0
Anchors the right edge of the node to the origin, the center or the end of its parent control. It changes how the right offset updates when the node moves or changes size. You can use one of the Anchor constants for convenience.
float anchor_top = 0.0
Anchors the top edge of the node to the origin, the center or the end of its parent control. It changes how the top offset updates when the node moves or changes size. You can use one of the Anchor constants for convenience.
bool auto_translate = true
Toggles if any text should automatically change to its translated version depending on the current locale.
Also decides if the node's strings should be parsed for POT generation.
bool clip_contents = false
Enables whether rendering of CanvasItem based children should be clipped to this control's rectangle. If true, parts of a child which would be visibly outside of this control's rectangle will not be rendered and won't receive input.
Vector2 custom_minimum_size = Vector2(0, 0)
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.
FocusMode focus_mode = 0
The focus access mode for the control (None, Click or All). Only one Control can be focused at the same time, and it will receive keyboard, gamepad, and mouse signals.
NodePath focus_neighbor_bottom = NodePath("")
Tells Godot which node it should give focus to if the user presses the down arrow on the keyboard or down on a gamepad by default. You can change the key by editing the ProjectSettings.input/ui_down input action. The node must be a Control. If this property is not set, Godot will give focus to the closest Control to the bottom of this one.
NodePath focus_neighbor_left = NodePath("")
Tells Godot which node it should give focus to if the user presses the left arrow on the keyboard or left on a gamepad by default. You can change the key by editing the ProjectSettings.input/ui_left input action. The node must be a Control. If this property is not set, Godot will give focus to the closest Control to the left of this one.
NodePath focus_neighbor_right = NodePath("")
Tells Godot which node it should give focus to if the user presses the right arrow on the keyboard or right on a gamepad by default. You can change the key by editing the ProjectSettings.input/ui_right input action. The node must be a Control. If this property is not set, Godot will give focus to the closest Control to the right of this one.
NodePath focus_neighbor_top = NodePath("")
Tells Godot which node it should give focus to if the user presses the top arrow on the keyboard or top on a gamepad by default. You can change the key by editing the ProjectSettings.input/ui_up input action. The node must be a Control. If this property is not set, Godot will give focus to the closest Control to the top of this one.
NodePath focus_next = NodePath("")
Tells Godot which node it should give focus to if the user presses Tab on a keyboard by default. You can change the key by editing the ProjectSettings.input/ui_focus_next input action.
If this property is not set, Godot will select a "best guess" based on surrounding nodes in the scene tree.
NodePath focus_previous = NodePath("")
Tells Godot which node it should give focus to if the user presses Shift + Tab on a keyboard by default. You can change the key by editing the ProjectSettings.input/ui_focus_prev input action.
If this property is not set, Godot will select a "best guess" based on surrounding nodes in the scene tree.
Vector2 global_position
Vector2 get_global_position ( )
The node's global position, relative to the world (usually to the CanvasLayer).
GrowDirection grow_horizontal = 1
void set_h_grow_direction ( GrowDirection value )
GrowDirection get_h_grow_direction ( )
Controls the direction on the horizontal axis in which the control should grow if its horizontal minimum size is changed to be greater than its current size, as the control always has to be at least the minimum size.
GrowDirection grow_vertical = 1
void set_v_grow_direction ( GrowDirection value )
GrowDirection get_v_grow_direction ( )
Controls the direction on the vertical axis in which the control should grow if its vertical minimum size is changed to be greater than its current size, as the control always has to be at least the minimum size.
LayoutDirection layout_direction = 0
void set_layout_direction ( LayoutDirection value )
LayoutDirection get_layout_direction ( )
Controls layout direction and text writing direction. Right-to-left layouts are necessary for certain languages (e.g. Arabic and Hebrew).
bool localize_numeral_system = true
If true, automatically converts code line numbers, list indices, SpinBox and ProgressBar values from the Western Arabic (0..9) to the numeral systems used in current locale.
Note: Numbers within the text are not automatically converted, it can be done manually, using TextServer.format_number.
CursorShape mouse_default_cursor_shape = 0
void set_default_cursor_shape ( CursorShape value )
CursorShape get_default_cursor_shape ( )
The default cursor shape for this control. Useful for Godot plugins and applications or games that use the system's mouse cursors.
Note: On Linux, shapes may vary depending on the cursor theme of the system.
MouseFilter mouse_filter = 0
void set_mouse_filter ( MouseFilter value )
MouseFilter get_mouse_filter ( )
Controls whether the control will be able to receive mouse button input events through _gui_input and how these events should be handled. Also controls whether the control can receive the mouse_entered, and mouse_exited signals. See the constants to learn what each does.
bool mouse_force_pass_scroll_events = true
When enabled, scroll wheel events processed by _gui_input will be passed to the parent control even if mouse_filter is set to MOUSE_FILTER_STOP. As it defaults to true, this allows nested scrollable containers to work out of the box.
You should disable it on the root of your UI if you do not want scroll events to go to the Node._unhandled_input processing.
float offset_bottom = 0.0
Distance between the node's bottom edge and its parent control, based on anchor_bottom.
Offsets are often controlled by one or multiple parent Container nodes, so you should not modify them manually if your node is a direct child of a Container. Offsets update automatically when you move or resize the node.
float offset_left = 0.0
Distance between the node's left edge and its parent control, based on anchor_left.
Offsets are often controlled by one or multiple parent Container nodes, so you should not modify them manually if your node is a direct child of a Container. Offsets update automatically when you move or resize the node.
float offset_right = 0.0
Distance between the node's right edge and its parent control, based on anchor_right.
Offsets are often controlled by one or multiple parent Container nodes, so you should not modify them manually if your node is a direct child of a Container. Offsets update automatically when you move or resize the node.
float offset_top = 0.0
Distance between the node's top edge and its parent control, based on anchor_top.
Offsets are often controlled by one or multiple parent Container nodes, so you should not modify them manually if your node is a direct child of a Container. Offsets update automatically when you move or resize the node.
Vector2 pivot_offset = Vector2(0, 0)
By default, the node's pivot is its top-left corner. When you change its rotation or scale, it will rotate or scale around this pivot. Set this property to size / 2 to pivot around the Control's center.
Vector2 position = Vector2(0, 0)
Vector2 get_position ( )
The node's position, relative to its containing node. It corresponds to the rectangle's top-left corner. The property is not affected by pivot_offset.
float rotation = 0.0
The node's rotation around its pivot, in radians. See pivot_offset to change the pivot's position.
Note: This property is edited in the inspector in degrees. If you want to use degrees in a script, use rotation_degrees.
float rotation_degrees
Helper property to access rotation in degrees instead of radians.
Vector2 scale = Vector2(1, 1)
The node's scale, relative to its size. Change this property to scale the node around its pivot_offset. The Control's tooltip_text will also scale according to this value.
Note: This property is mainly intended to be used for animation purposes. To support multiple resolutions in your project, use an appropriate viewport stretch mode as described in the documentation instead of scaling Controls individually.
Note: FontFile.oversampling does not take Control scale into account. This means that scaling up/down will cause bitmap fonts and rasterized (non-MSDF) dynamic fonts to appear blurry or pixelated. To ensure text remains crisp regardless of scale, you can enable MSDF font rendering by enabling ProjectSettings.gui/theme/default_font_multichannel_signed_distance_field (applies to the default project font only), or enabling Multichannel Signed Distance Field in the import options of a DynamicFont for custom fonts. On system fonts, SystemFont.multichannel_signed_distance_field can be enabled in the inspector.
Note: If the Control node is a child of a Container node, the scale will be reset to Vector2(1, 1) when the scene is instantiated. To set the Control's scale when it's instantiated, wait for one frame using await get_tree().process_frame then set its scale property.
Node shortcut_context
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.
Vector2 size = Vector2(0, 0)
Vector2 get_size ( )
The size of the node's bounding rectangle, in the node's coordinate system. Container nodes update this property automatically.
BitField<SizeFlags> size_flags_horizontal = 1
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.
float size_flags_stretch_ratio = 1.0
If the node and at least one of its neighbors uses the SIZE_EXPAND 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.
BitField<SizeFlags> size_flags_vertical = 1
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.
Theme theme
The Theme resource this node and all its Control and Window children use. If a child node has its own Theme resource set, theme items are merged with child's definitions having higher priority.
Note: Window styles will have no effect unless the window is embedded.
StringName theme_type_variation = &""
void set_theme_type_variation ( StringName value )
StringName get_theme_type_variation ( )
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. Button for the Button control), as well as the class names of all parent classes (in order of inheritance).
When set, this property gives the highest priority to the type of the specified name. This type can in turn extend another type, forming a dependency chain. See Theme.set_type_variation. If the theme item cannot be found using this type or its base types, lookup falls back on the class names.
Note: To look up Control's own items use various get_theme_* methods without specifying theme_type.
Note: Theme items are looked for in the tree order, from branch to root, where each Control node is checked for its theme property. The earliest match against any type/class name is returned. The project-level Theme and the default Theme are checked last.
String tooltip_text = ""
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 mouse_filter property is not MOUSE_FILTER_IGNORE. The time required for the tooltip to appear can be changed with the ProjectSettings.gui/timers/tooltip_delay_sec option. See also get_tooltip.
The tooltip popup will use either a default implementation, or a custom one that you can provide by overriding _make_custom_tooltip. The default tooltip includes a PopupPanel and Label whose theme properties can be customized using Theme methods with the "TooltipPanel" and "TooltipLabel" respectively. For example:
var style_box = StyleBoxFlat.new()
style_box.set_bg_color(Color(1, 1, 0))
style_box.set_border_width_all(2)
# We assume here that the `theme` property has been assigned a custom Theme beforehand.
theme.set_stylebox("panel", "TooltipPanel", style_box)
theme.set_color("font_color", "TooltipLabel", Color(0, 1, 1))
var styleBox = new StyleBoxFlat();
styleBox.SetBgColor(new Color(1, 1, 0));
styleBox.SetBorderWidthAll(2);
// We assume here that the `Theme` property has been assigned a custom Theme beforehand.
Theme.SetStyleBox("panel", "TooltipPanel", styleBox);
Theme.SetColor("font_color", "TooltipLabel", new Color(0, 1, 1));

bool _can_drop_data ( Vector2 at_position, Variant data ) virtual const
Godot calls this method to test if data from a control's _get_drag_data can be dropped at at_position. at_position is local to this control.
This method should only be used to test the data. Process the data in _drop_data.
func _can_drop_data(position, data):
# Check position if it is relevant to you
# Otherwise, just check data
return typeof(data) == TYPE_DICTIONARY and data.has("expected")
public override bool _CanDropData(Vector2 atPosition, Variant data)
{
// Check position if it is relevant to you
// Otherwise, just check data
return data.VariantType == Variant.Type.Dictionary && data.AsGodotDictionary().ContainsKey("expected");
}
void _drop_data ( Vector2 at_position, Variant data ) virtual
Godot calls this method to pass you the data from a control's _get_drag_data result. Godot first calls _can_drop_data to test if data is allowed to drop at at_position where at_position is local to this control.
func _can_drop_data(position, data):
return typeof(data) == TYPE_DICTIONARY and data.has("color")
func _drop_data(position, data):
var color = data["color"]
public override bool _CanDropData(Vector2 atPosition, Variant data)
{
return data.VariantType == Variant.Type.Dictionary && dict.AsGodotDictionary().ContainsKey("color");
}
public override void _DropData(Vector2 atPosition, Variant data)
{
Color color = data.AsGodotDictionary()["color"].AsColor();
}
Variant _get_drag_data ( Vector2 at_position ) virtual
Godot calls this method to get data that can be dragged and dropped onto controls that expect drop data. Returns null if there is no data to drag. Controls that want to receive drop data should implement _can_drop_data and _drop_data. at_position is local to this control. Drag may be forced with force_drag.
A preview that will follow the mouse that should represent the data can be set with set_drag_preview. A good time to set the preview is in this method.
func _get_drag_data(position):
var mydata = make_data() # This is your custom method generating the drag data.
set_drag_preview(make_preview(mydata)) # This is your custom method generating the preview of the drag data.
return mydata
public override Variant _GetDragData(Vector2 atPosition)
{
var myData = MakeData(); // This is your custom method generating the drag data.
SetDragPreview(MakePreview(myData)); // This is your custom method generating the preview of the drag data.
return myData;
}
Vector2 _get_minimum_size ( ) virtual const
Virtual method to be implemented by the user. Returns the minimum size for this control. Alternative to custom_minimum_size for controlling minimum size via code. The actual minimum size will be the max value of these two (in each axis separately).
If not overridden, defaults to Vector2.ZERO.
Note: This method will not be called when the script is attached to a Control node that already overrides its minimum size (e.g. Label, Button, PanelContainer etc.). It can only be used with most basic GUI nodes, like Control, Container, Panel etc.
String _get_tooltip ( Vector2 at_position ) virtual const
Virtual method to be implemented by the user. Returns the tooltip text for the position at_position in control's local coordinates, which will typically appear when the cursor is resting over this control. See get_tooltip.
Note: If this method returns an empty String, no tooltip is displayed.
void _gui_input ( InputEvent event ) virtual
Virtual method to be implemented by the user. Use this method to process and accept inputs on UI elements. See accept_event.
Example usage for clicking a control:
func _gui_input(event):
if event is InputEventMouseButton:
if event.button_index == MOUSE_BUTTON_LEFT and event.pressed:
print("I've been clicked D:")
public override void _GuiInput(InputEvent @event)
{
if (@event is InputEventMouseButton mb)
{
if (mb.ButtonIndex == MouseButton.Left && mb.Pressed)
{
GD.Print("I've been clicked D:");
}
}
}
The event won't trigger if:
* clicking outside the control (see _has_point);
* control has mouse_filter set to MOUSE_FILTER_IGNORE;
* control is obstructed by another Control on top of it, which doesn't have mouse_filter set to MOUSE_FILTER_IGNORE;
* control's parent has mouse_filter set to MOUSE_FILTER_STOP or has accepted the event;
* it happens outside the parent's rectangle and the parent has either clip_contents enabled.
Note: Event position is relative to the control origin.
bool _has_point ( Vector2 point ) virtual const
Virtual method to be implemented by the user. Returns whether the given point is inside this control.
If not overridden, default behavior is checking if the point is within control's Rect.
Note: If you want to check if a point is inside the control, you can use Rect2(Vector2.ZERO, size).has_point(point).
Object _make_custom_tooltip ( String for_text ) virtual const
Virtual method to be implemented by the user. Returns a Control node that should be used as a tooltip instead of the default one. The for_text includes the contents of the tooltip_text property.
The returned node must be of type Control or Control-derived. It can have child nodes of any type. It is freed when the tooltip disappears, so make sure you always provide a new instance (if you want to use a pre-existing node from your scene tree, you can duplicate it and pass the duplicated instance). When null or a non-Control node is returned, the default tooltip will be used instead.
The returned node will be added as child to a PopupPanel, so you should only provide the contents of that panel. That PopupPanel can be themed using Theme.set_stylebox for the type "TooltipPanel" (see tooltip_text for an example).
Note: The tooltip is shrunk to minimal size. If you want to ensure it's fully visible, you might want to set its custom_minimum_size to some non-zero value.
Note: The node (and any relevant children) should be CanvasItem.visible when returned, otherwise, the viewport that instantiates it will not be able to calculate its minimum size reliably.
Example of usage with a custom-constructed node:
func _make_custom_tooltip(for_text):
var label = Label.new()
label.text = for_text
return label
public override Control _MakeCustomTooltip(string forText)
{
var label = new Label();
label.Text = forText;
return label;
}
Example of usage with a custom scene instance:
func _make_custom_tooltip(for_text):
var tooltip = preload("res://some_tooltip_scene.tscn").instantiate()
tooltip.get_node("Label").text = for_text
return tooltip
public override Control _MakeCustomTooltip(string forText)
{
Node tooltip = ResourceLoader.Load<PackedScene>("res://some_tooltip_scene.tscn").Instantiate();
tooltip.GetNode<Label>("Label").Text = forText;
return tooltip;
}
Vector3i[] _structured_text_parser ( Array args, String text ) virtual const
User defined BiDi algorithm override function.
Returns an Array of Vector3i text ranges and text base directions, in the left-to-right order. Ranges should cover full source text without overlaps. BiDi algorithm will be used on each range separately.
void accept_event ( )
Marks an input event as handled. Once you accept an input event, it stops propagating, even to nodes listening to Node._unhandled_input or Node._unhandled_key_input.
Note: This does not affect the methods in Input, only the way events are propagated.
void add_theme_color_override ( StringName name, Color color )
Creates a local override for a theme Color with the specified name. Local overrides always take precedence when fetching theme items for the control. An override can be removed with remove_theme_color_override.
See also get_theme_color.
Example of overriding a label's color and resetting it later:
# Given the child Label node "MyLabel", override its font color with a custom value.
$MyLabel.add_theme_color_override("font_color", Color(1, 0.5, 0))
# Reset the font color of the child label.
$MyLabel.remove_theme_color_override("font_color")
# Alternatively it can be overridden with the default value from the Label type.
$MyLabel.add_theme_color_override("font_color", get_theme_color("font_color", "Label"))
// Given the child Label node "MyLabel", override its font color with a custom value.
GetNode<Label>("MyLabel").AddThemeColorOverride("font_color", new Color(1, 0.5f, 0));
// Reset the font color of the child label.
GetNode<Label>("MyLabel").RemoveThemeColorOverride("font_color");
// Alternatively it can be overridden with the default value from the Label type.
GetNode<Label>("MyLabel").AddThemeColorOverride("font_color", GetThemeColor("font_color", "Label"));
void add_theme_constant_override ( StringName name, int constant )
Creates a local override for a theme constant with the specified name. Local overrides always take precedence when fetching theme items for the control. An override can be removed with remove_theme_constant_override.
See also get_theme_constant.
void add_theme_font_override ( StringName name, Font font )
Creates a local override for a theme Font with the specified name. Local overrides always take precedence when fetching theme items for the control. An override can be removed with remove_theme_font_override.
See also get_theme_font.
void add_theme_font_size_override ( StringName name, int font_size )
Creates a local override for a theme font size with the specified name. Local overrides always take precedence when fetching theme items for the control. An override can be removed with remove_theme_font_size_override.
See also get_theme_font_size.
void add_theme_icon_override ( StringName name, Texture2D texture )
Creates a local override for a theme icon with the specified name. Local overrides always take precedence when fetching theme items for the control. An override can be removed with remove_theme_icon_override.
See also get_theme_icon.
void add_theme_stylebox_override ( StringName name, StyleBox stylebox )
Creates a local override for a theme StyleBox with the specified name. Local overrides always take precedence when fetching theme items for the control. An override can be removed with remove_theme_stylebox_override.
See also get_theme_stylebox.
Example of modifying a property in a StyleBox by duplicating it:
# The snippet below assumes the child node MyButton has a StyleBoxFlat assigned.
# Resources are shared across instances, so we need to duplicate it
# to avoid modifying the appearance of all other buttons.
var new_stylebox_normal = $MyButton.get_theme_stylebox("normal").duplicate()
new_stylebox_normal.border_width_top = 3
new_stylebox_normal.border_color = Color(0, 1, 0.5)
$MyButton.add_theme_stylebox_override("normal", new_stylebox_normal)
# Remove the stylebox override.
$MyButton.remove_theme_stylebox_override("normal")
// The snippet below assumes the child node MyButton has a StyleBoxFlat assigned.
// Resources are shared across instances, so we need to duplicate it
// to avoid modifying the appearance of all other buttons.
StyleBoxFlat newStyleboxNormal = GetNode<Button>("MyButton").GetThemeStylebox("normal").Duplicate() as StyleBoxFlat;
newStyleboxNormal.BorderWidthTop = 3;
newStyleboxNormal.BorderColor = new Color(0, 1, 0.5f);
GetNode<Button>("MyButton").AddThemeStyleboxOverride("normal", newStyleboxNormal);
// Remove the stylebox override.
GetNode<Button>("MyButton").RemoveThemeStyleboxOverride("normal");
void begin_bulk_theme_override ( )
Prevents *_theme_*_override methods from emitting NOTIFICATION_THEME_CHANGED until end_bulk_theme_override is called.
void end_bulk_theme_override ( )
Ends a bulk theme override update. See begin_bulk_theme_override.
Control find_next_valid_focus ( ) const
Finds the next (below in the tree) Control that can receive the focus.
Control find_prev_valid_focus ( ) const
Finds the previous (above in the tree) Control that can receive the focus.
void force_drag ( Variant data, Control preview )
Forces drag and bypasses _get_drag_data and set_drag_preview by passing data and preview. Drag will start even if the mouse is neither over nor pressed on this control.
The methods _can_drop_data and _drop_data must be implemented on controls that want to receive drop data.
float get_anchor ( Side side ) const
Returns the anchor for the specified Side. A getter method for anchor_bottom, anchor_left, anchor_right and anchor_top.
Vector2 get_begin ( ) const
Returns offset_left and offset_top. See also position.
Vector2 get_combined_minimum_size ( ) const
Returns combined minimum size from custom_minimum_size and get_minimum_size.

Returns the mouse cursor shape the control displays on mouse hover. See CursorShape.
Vector2 get_end ( ) const
Returns offset_right and offset_bottom.
NodePath get_focus_neighbor ( Side side ) const
Returns the focus neighbor for the specified Side. A getter method for focus_neighbor_bottom, focus_neighbor_left, focus_neighbor_right and focus_neighbor_top.
Rect2 get_global_rect ( ) const
Returns the position and size of the control relative to the containing canvas. See global_position and size.
Note: If the node itself or any parent CanvasItem between the node and the canvas have a non default rotation or skew, the resulting size is likely not meaningful.
Note: Setting Viewport.gui_snap_controls_to_pixels to true can lead to rounding inaccuracies between the displayed control and the returned Rect2.
Vector2 get_minimum_size ( ) const
Returns the minimum size for this control. See custom_minimum_size.
float get_offset ( Side offset ) const
Returns the offset for the specified Side. A getter method for offset_bottom, offset_left, offset_right and offset_top.
Vector2 get_parent_area_size ( ) const
Returns the width/height occupied in the parent control.
Control get_parent_control ( ) const
Returns the parent control node.
Rect2 get_rect ( ) const
Returns the position and size of the control in the coordinate system of the containing node. See position, scale and size.
Note: If rotation is not the default rotation, the resulting size is not meaningful.
Note: Setting Viewport.gui_snap_controls_to_pixels to true can lead to rounding inaccuracies between the displayed control and the returned Rect2.
Vector2 get_screen_position ( ) const
Returns the position of this Control in global screen coordinates (i.e. taking window position into account). Mostly useful for editor plugins.
Equals to global_position if the window is embedded (see Viewport.gui_embed_subwindows).
Example usage for showing a popup:
popup_menu.position = get_screen_position() + get_local_mouse_position()
popup_menu.reset_size()
popup_menu.popup()
Color get_theme_color ( StringName name, StringName theme_type="" ) const
Returns a Color from the first matching Theme in the tree if that Theme has a color item with the specified name and theme_type. If theme_type is omitted the class name of the current control is used as the type, or theme_type_variation if it is defined. If the type is a class name its parent classes are also checked, in order of inheritance. If the type is a variation its base types are checked, in order of dependency, then the control's class name and its parent classes are checked.
For the current control its local overrides are considered first (see add_theme_color_override), then its assigned theme. After the current control, each parent control and its assigned theme are considered; controls without a theme assigned are skipped. If no matching Theme is found in the tree, the custom project Theme (see ProjectSettings.gui/theme/custom) and the default Theme are used (see ThemeDB).
func _ready():
# Get the font color defined for the current Control's class, if it exists.
modulate = get_theme_color("font_color")
# Get the font color defined for the Button class.
modulate = get_theme_color("font_color", "Button")
public override void _Ready()
{
// Get the font color defined for the current Control's class, if it exists.
Modulate = GetThemeColor("font_color");
// Get the font color defined for the Button class.
Modulate = GetThemeColor("font_color", "Button");
}

String get_tooltip ( Vector2 at_position=Vector2(0, 0) ) const
Returns the tooltip text for the position at_position in control's local coordinates, which will typically appear when the cursor is resting over this control. By default, it returns tooltip_text.
This method can be overridden to customize its behavior. See _get_tooltip.
Note: If this method returns an empty String, no tooltip is displayed.
void grab_click_focus ( )
Creates an InputEventMouseButton that attempts to click the control. If the event is received, the control acquires focus.
func _process(delta):
grab_click_focus() # When clicking another Control node, this node will be clicked instead.
public override void _Process(double delta)
{
GrabClickFocus(); // When clicking another Control node, this node will be clicked instead.
}
void grab_focus ( )
Steal the focus from another control and become the focused control (see focus_mode).
Note: Using this method together with Callable.call_deferred makes it more reliable, especially when called inside Node._ready.

void reset_size ( )
Resets the size to get_combined_minimum_size. This is equivalent to calling set_size(Vector2()) (or any size below the minimum).
void set_anchor ( Side side, float anchor, bool keep_offset=false, bool push_opposite_anchor=true )
Sets the anchor for the specified Side to anchor. A setter method for anchor_bottom, anchor_left, anchor_right and anchor_top.
If keep_offset is true, offsets aren't updated after this operation.
If push_opposite_anchor is true and the opposite anchor overlaps this anchor, the opposite one will have its value overridden. For example, when setting left anchor to 1 and the right anchor has value of 0.5, the right anchor will also get value of 1. If push_opposite_anchor was false, the left anchor would get value 0.5.
void set_anchor_and_offset ( Side side, float anchor, float offset, bool push_opposite_anchor=false )
Works the same as set_anchor, but instead of keep_offset argument and automatic update of offset, it allows to set the offset yourself (see set_offset).
void set_anchors_and_offsets_preset ( LayoutPreset preset, LayoutPresetMode resize_mode=0, int margin=0 )
Sets both anchor preset and offset preset. See set_anchors_preset and set_offsets_preset.
void set_anchors_preset ( LayoutPreset preset, bool keep_offsets=false )
Sets the anchors to a preset from LayoutPreset enum. This is the code equivalent to using the Layout menu in the 2D editor.
If keep_offsets is true, control's position will also be updated.
void set_begin ( Vector2 position )
Sets offset_left and offset_top at the same time. Equivalent of changing position.
void set_drag_forwarding ( Callable drag_func, Callable can_drop_func, Callable drop_func )
Forwards the handling of this control's _get_drag_data, _can_drop_data and _drop_data virtual functions to delegate callables.
For each argument, if not empty, the delegate callable is used, otherwise the local (virtual) function is used.
The function format for each callable should be exactly the same as the virtual functions described above.
void set_drag_preview ( Control control )
Shows the given control at the mouse pointer. A good time to call this method is in _get_drag_data. The control must not be in the scene tree. You should not free the control, and you should not keep a reference to the control beyond the duration of the drag. It will be deleted automatically after the drag has ended.
@export var color = Color(1, 0, 0, 1)
func _get_drag_data(position):
# Use a control that is not in the tree
var cpb = ColorPickerButton.new()
cpb.color = color
cpb.size = Vector2(50, 50)
set_drag_preview(cpb)
return color
[Export]
private Color _color = new Color(1, 0, 0, 1);
public override Variant _GetDragData(Vector2 atPosition)
{
// Use a control that is not in the tree
var cpb = new ColorPickerButton();
cpb.Color = _color;
cpb.Size = new Vector2(50, 50);
SetDragPreview(cpb);
return _color;
}
void set_end ( Vector2 position )
Sets offset_right and offset_bottom at the same time.
void set_focus_neighbor ( Side side, NodePath neighbor )
Sets the focus neighbor for the specified Side to the Control at neighbor node path. A setter method for focus_neighbor_bottom, focus_neighbor_left, focus_neighbor_right and focus_neighbor_top.
void set_global_position ( Vector2 position, bool keep_offsets=false )
Sets the global_position to given position.
If keep_offsets is true, control's anchors will be updated instead of offsets.
void set_offset ( Side side, float offset )
Sets the offset for the specified Side to offset. A setter method for offset_bottom, offset_left, offset_right and offset_top.
void set_offsets_preset ( LayoutPreset preset, LayoutPresetMode resize_mode=0, int margin=0 )
Sets the offsets to a preset from LayoutPreset enum. This is the code equivalent to using the Layout menu in the 2D editor.
Use parameter resize_mode with constants from LayoutPresetMode to better determine the resulting size of the Control. Constant size will be ignored if used with presets that change size, e.g. PRESET_LEFT_WIDE.
Use parameter margin to determine the gap between the Control and the edges.
void set_position ( Vector2 position, bool keep_offsets=false )
Sets the position to given position.
If keep_offsets is true, control's anchors will be updated instead of offsets.
void set_size ( Vector2 size, bool keep_offsets=false )
Sets the size (see size).
If keep_offsets is true, control's anchors will be updated instead of offsets.
void update_minimum_size ( )
Invalidates the size cache in this node and in parent nodes up to top level. Intended to be used with get_minimum_size when the return value is changed. Setting custom_minimum_size directly calls this method automatically.
void warp_mouse ( Vector2 position )
Moves the mouse cursor to position, relative to position of this Control.
Note: warp_mouse is only supported on Windows, macOS and Linux. It has no effect on Android, iOS and Web.
