Change rectangle background on mouse hover

So I have a rectangle with no background and I want to give it a background gradient when the user hovers their mouse over it, and then remove the gradient when the mouse leaves the rectangle.

Please can someone post th开发者_开发百科e code that is needed for this, and tell me where to put it in the .cs/xaml file?

Thanks.

This:

<Rectangle Width="100" Height="100" StrokeThickness="1" Stroke="Black">
    <Rectangle.Style>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type Rectangle}">
            <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Transparent" />
            <Style.Triggers>
                <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
                    <Setter Property="Fill">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <!-- Change ImageSource to what image you want to use -->
                            <ImageBrush ImageSource="C:/Users/Public/1.png" />
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter>
                </Trigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </Rectangle.Style>
</Rectangle>

(Note that if you set Fill="Transparent" on the Rectangle itself the Trigger will not work because of dependency property value precedence)

This answer is close to yours I believe. They are setting the background to a brush instead of an image. - Changing dynamically created button's background in WPF

the simplest way must be something like this (beware, no good style):

<Image>
    <Image.Style>
        <Style TargetType="Image">
            <Style.Triggers>
                <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
                    <Setter Property="Source" Value="myimage.png"/>
                </Trigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </Image.Style>
</Image>

You could add two Triggers for IsMouseOver property: when it is true (ie mouse is over the rectangle), here I change the background to Blue, otherwise Red!

<Rectangle.Resources>
    <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue"/>
    </Trigger>
    <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="False">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"/>
    </Trigger>
</Rectangle.Resources>

The way to change background color to gradient for rectangle:

<Rectangle Width="128" Height="128" StrokeThickness="1" Stroke="Black">
    <Rectangle.Style>
        <Style TargetType="Rectangle">
            <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Red"/>
            <Style.Triggers>
                <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
                    <Setter Property="Fill">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" MappingMode="RelativeToBoundingBox" StartPoint="0.5,0">
                                <GradientStop Color="#FF2824A0"/>
                                <GradientStop Color="#FF78B9DD" Offset="1"/>
                            </LinearGradientBrush>
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter> 
                </Trigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </Rectangle.Style>
</Rectangle>
