Selectable
This property determines whether a ~GuiObject|GUI` can be selected when navigating GUIs using a gamepad.
If this property is true, a GUI can be selected. Selecting a GUI also sets the GuiService/SelectedObject property to that object.
When this is false, the GUI cannot be selected. However, setting this to false when a GUI is selected will not deselect it nor change the value of the GuiService’s SelectedObject property.
Add GuiObject/SelectionGained and GuiObject/SelectionLost will not fire for the element.
To deselect a GuiObject, you must change GuiService|GuiService's SelectedObject property.
This property is useful if a GUI is connected to several GUIs via properties such as this GuiObject/NextSelectionUp, GuiObject/NextSelectionDown, GuiObject|NextSelectionRight, or GuiObject|NextSelectionLeft. Rather than change all of the properties so that the Gamepad cannot select the GUI, you can disable its Selectable property to temporarily prevent it from being selected. Then, when you want the gamepad selector to be able to select the GUI, simply re-enable its selectable property.
Code Samples
Limiting TextBox Selection
The example below offers a simple demonstration on how to use the GuiObject/Selectable property to limit when a GUI element can be selected by the Gamepad navigator.
When a TextBox has gains focus, it can be selected. However, when a TextBox loses focus it can no longer be selected.
Although this is a simple demonstration, the property can also be used to prevent the navigator from selecting UI elements that exist for cosmetic rather than functional purposes. For instance, while the buttons on a menu screen should be selectable, the title image should not be.
