Send Navigation Events

The Send Navigation Events property can be toggled on and off. When this property is enabled, you can navigate between UI elements via a gamepad, joystick, or keyboard. The navigation events that can be used are as listed:

  • Move: You can select the various UI elements via arrow keys on the keyboard or the control stick on a gamepad (or whichever keys/buttons you have designated as the movement keys). Movement will start at the UI item designated First Selected. We will discuss how to specify the order in which UI items are selected using movement in Chapter 5, Buttons.
  • Submit: Commit to the UI item selected.
  • Cancel: Cancel the selection.
