function uninitializeGamepadInjection()
Public Sub UninitializeGamepadInjection ()

Windows requirements

Device family

API contract
Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract (introduced in v5.0)

Examples

Here are some downloadable samples demonstrating basic input and input injection:

Remarks

Important

The APIs in this namespace require the inputInjectionBrokered restricted capability.

Using input injection requires the following be added to the Package.appxmanifest:

  • To <Package>
    • xmlns:rescap="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/foundation/windows10/restrictedcapabilities"
    • IgnorableNamespaces="rescap"
  • To <Capabilities>
    • <rescap:Capability Name="inputInjectionBrokered" />

Calling this method is analogous to disconnecting a physical gamepad, which also triggers a GamepadRemoved event.

A physical gamepad is assigned a persistent unique ID (see NonRoamableId) that does not change when the device is connected and disconnected. Similarly, a virtual gamepad created with InitializeGamepadInjection is also assigned a unique ID that persists across calls to UninitializeGamepadInjection and InitializeGamepadInjection for the same InputInjector instance.
