The game controller to be returned as a flight stick.

Examples

In the following example, the app gets the first available RawGameController object, and tries to access this game controller via the FlightStick class.

#include <winrt/Windows.Gaming.Input.h>
using namespace winrt;
using namespace Windows::Gaming::Input;
...
FlightStick flightStick{ nullptr };

if (RawGameController::RawGameControllers().Size() > 0)
{
    RawGameController rawGameController{ RawGameController::RawGameControllers().GetAt(0) };
    flightStick = FlightStick::FromGameController(rawGameController);
}

if (flightStick)
{
    // Assign a standard button mapping to this controller.
}

FlightStick^ flightStick;

if (RawGameController::RawGameControllers->Size > 0)
{
    RawGameController^ rawGameController = 
        RawGameController::RawGameControllers->GetAt(0);

    flightStick = FlightStick::FromGameController(rawGameController);
}

if (flightStick != nullptr)
{
    // Assign a standard button mapping to this controller.
}

Remarks

This method checks if the provided game controller has a flight stick implementation, and if so, it returns that implementation. You might use this method if you want to first get the controller as a RawGameController, and then see if it can be used as a FlightStick—if so, you can use a default control scheme for flight sticks, otherwise you can let the player do their own input mapping.
