How to use the gamepads buttons to navigate as a “back” button to switch betweens UI panels?

I already know that the Eventsystem component handles the click/enter and navigation/Dpad binding well, but what about a “back” button?

see attached example picture for reference of what i am trying to do.

EDIT: is the event system “cancel” binding the way to go in this case? and then use a script as a handler of the OnCancel event?

No, The cancel event didn’t work either.

edit: according to the documentation The cancel event only works if the call is made from the selected object.

So i have two options to do what i want:

  • have a event trigger component with “cancel” on every button.
  • or make a script as a listener of the input system actions(the one showed in the How do I…?). I will go for this route.

i will mark it as solved.
