This is an element within a tree that may be expanded or collapsed if it contains a sub-level group of tree item elements. | | **Widget** | An interactive component of a graphical user interface (GUI). | | **Window** | A browser or application window. | ## Used By | Name | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [Control.AccessibleRole](https://docs.wisej.com/api/general/control#accessiblerole) | Returns or sets the accessible role of the control that will be reported to accessibility client applications.
