# XUserFindControllerForUserWithUiAsync

Shows a dialog that will prompt the user to turn on and identify which controller they
want to use.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
HRESULT XUserFindControllerForUserWithUiAsync(  
         XUserHandle user,  
         XAsyncBlock* async  
)  
```

### Parameters

*user*   \_In\_\
Type: XUserHandle

The XUserHandle of the user for which to find a controller.

*async*   \_In\_\
Type: XAsyncBlock\*

An XAsyncBlock for polling for the call's status and retrieving call results.

### Return value

Type: HRESULT

HRESULT success or error code. For a list of error codes, see
[Error Codes](/reference/errorcodes).

### Remarks

On desktop, this function will not show UI.

To get the results of what controller the user has selected, there are a couple of choices.

1. Call [XUserFindControllerForUserWithUiResult](/reference/system/xuser/functions/xuserfindcontrollerforuserwithuiresult).
   This will return the device ID of the now bound controller.
2. Get the result from the [XUserDeviceAssociationChangedCallback](/reference/system/xuser/functions/xuserdeviceassociationchangedcallback)
   callback that will happen when the user has selected their new controller.

## Requirements

**Header:** XUser.h

**Library:** xgameruntime.lib
