Check if UI Element in screen space canvas is visible or not

OctoSharko · March 28, 2024, 12:25pm

Hi,
I’d like to know if a GameObject that is a UI Element (Button for example) in a screen space canvas is visible on screen or not.
Checking activeself is not good enough because if the element is active but has an inactive parent, it won’t be visible.
I’ve been googling away for an hour without success. Should I check if all its parents are active ? That can be costly…
Can you kindly help ?
Thanks
