Folds the container and emits folding_changed.


void remove_title_bar_control(control: Control) 🔗

Removes a Control added with add_title_bar_control(). The node is not freed automatically, you need to use Node.queue_free().

StyleBox focus 🔗

Background used when FoldableContainer has GUI focus. The focus StyleBox is displayed over the base StyleBox, so a partially transparent StyleBox should be used to ensure the base StyleBox remains visible. A StyleBox that represents an outline or an underline works well for this purpose. To disable the focus visual effect, assign a StyleBoxEmpty resource. Note that disabling the focus visual effect will harm keyboard/controller navigation usability, so this is not recommended for accessibility reasons.

StyleBox title_collapsed_panel 🔗
