# PointerCaptureEvent

> Event sent when a pointer is captured by a VisualElement.

## Definition

* **Type:** Class
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine.UIElements](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/uielements.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.UIElementsModule
* **Inherits from:** [PointerCaptureEventBase\<PointerCaptureEvent>](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/uielements/pointercaptureeventbase1.md)
* **Implements:** [IDisposable](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.idisposable), [IPointerCaptureEvent](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/uielements/ipointercaptureevent.md)

```csharp
public class PointerCaptureEvent : PointerCaptureEventBase<PointerCaptureEvent>, IDisposable, IPointerCaptureEvent
```

## Remarks

When a pointer is captured by a VisualElement, all pointer events are sent to that VisualElement until the pointer is released.
