Used to display a list of game controllers, allowing for special effects such as controller highlighting and port selection.

The game controller list is used for displaying a list of game controllers. It is provided as a container to allow for special behavior of the inner game controllers, such as visualizing the current in-game port for each controller in the GameAgents dialog.

The control was introduced in v21 to support the new Player Viewer (GameAgents) dialog.

Available tags

The default control tags are applicable to this control. Note that each tag is lower case only. This is important, as xml tags are case-sensitive.

The game controller list derives from a List Container, so all list tags and attributes can be used.

In addition, the following game-related tags are available:

Tag	Description
align	Align controllers to the left or right, depending on how many in-game ports are available. Only used in-game for list item content provided by core, such as in the Player Viewer (GameAgents) dialog. Ignored if static content is provided.
