According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/input-and-devices/designing-for-tv#gamepad-and-remote-control, UWP should automatically handle directional focus when used with XBox controller. (I have set Application.RequiresPointerMode
property to WhenRequested
)
I have not yet actually tried to run the app on Xbox, but when run on a PC with a controller attached, UI does not react to the controller at all (other apps do).
So the question is: does XBox controller handling only work on XBox, or there's a way to enable it on a PC for testing purposes?
