Methods

ContainsPoint(ref Float2, Boolean)

Checks if this control contains given point in local Control Space.

Declaration
public override bool ContainsPoint(ref Float2 location, bool precise = false)
Parameters
Float2 location

Point location in Control Space to check
System.Boolean precise

True if perform precise intersection test against the control content (eg. with hit mask or transparency threshold). Otherwise, only simple bounds-check will be performed.
Returns
System.Boolean

True if point is inside control's area, otherwise false.

Parameters
Float2 location

The position to intersect UI with.
Control hit

The result control that intersects with the raycast.
Returns
System.Boolean

True if ray hits any matching control, otherwise false.
Overrides
