Controlling Gamepad Gui Selecting

My friend told me that XBOX / gamepad users can select a TextButton which a Glowing Thing will show up on the TextButton. I wonder but can i control this without using NextSelectionUp / Down / etc?
Or is it related to Selectable and Selected properties?

“Selectable” controls whether the selection can move onto that object. “NextSelectionUp/Down/Left/Right” indeed control what happens when you are on that object and you move up/down/left/right with either the WASD keys, arrow keys, left gamepad joystick, or D-pad keys on gamepad.

but what i wanted to do is to make the Select thingy scripted. Or in other words, how to make it selected with script, more like a TextBox:Focus()
