### Remarks

Unity calls this method to find out what elements are under a cursor (such as a mouse). Do not rely on this method to perform invalidation, since Unity might cache results or skip some invocations of this method for performance reasons. By default, a VisualElement has a rectangular area. Override this method in your VisualElement subclass to customize this behaviour.
