Reference

Important

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Edit

Contains APIs enabling equipment manufacturers to write custom WinRT (Windows Runtime) class libraries for their devices.

Classes

GameControllerFactoryManager	Manages factories for custom controllers.
GipFirmwareUpdateResult	The result of an update operation.
GipGameControllerProvider	Represents a physical game controller connected to the system using GIP.SYS.
HidGameControllerProvider	Represents the underlying device for a HID (Human Interface Device) game controller.
XusbGameControllerProvider	Represents the physical game controller devices connected to the system using XUSB22.SYS.

Structs

GameControllerVersionInfo	Contains information on the game controller version.
GipFirmwareUpdateProgress	Indicates the progress of a firmware update operation.

Interfaces

ICustomGameControllerFactory	Represents a factory for creating a custom controller type.
IGameControllerInputSink	Base interface that defines the interfaces necessary to write a custom game controller class.
IGameControllerProvider	Base interface that represents the physical game controller devices connected to the system.
IGipGameControllerInputSink	Defines the methods necessary for a custom Gip controller interface.
IHidGameControllerInputSink	Defines the methods necessary for a custom HID (Human Interface Device) controller interface.
IXusbGameControllerInputSink	Defines the methods necessary for a custom Xusb controller interface.

Enums

GipFirmwareUpdateStatus	Indicates the state of a firmware update operation.
GipMessageClass	The class of a Gip message.
XusbDeviceSubtype	The device subtype of the controller.
XusbDeviceType	The device type of the controller.

Remarks

It is important to be aware that the APIs in this namespace are not targeted at apps; in fact, no app should ever call these APIs directly. This namespace is only meant to provide a framework for authoring WinRT component libraries, and it is those libraries (and the APIs they expose) that apps will ultimately consume. As such, these APIs are focused primarily on low-level, raw access to game controller devices.
