I have this code in my xaml which says to color my button when I hover my mouse and click my mouse over the button.
<Border x:Class="DatasetGrid.RowHeaderButton"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300" MinWidth="30" Width="Auto">
<Border.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtOverBrush" Color="#53C3D5" Opacity="0.2"></SolidColorBrush>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtPressedBrush" Color="#53C3D5" Opacity="0.5"></SolidColorBrush>
</Border.Resources>
<Border.Style>
<Style TargetType="Border">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"></Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource ButtOverBrush}"></Setter>
</Trigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsMouseDown, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource ButtPressedBrush}"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Border.Style>
</Border>
This works all well and good, but I find that as soon as I change the Background color in code behind, the above MouseOver and MouseDown triggers don't fire anymore.
RowHeaderButton rhb = RowHeadersColumn.VisibleRowHeaders[cell.CellInfo.RowIndex];
rhb.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(100, 83, 195, 213));
I'm quite new to WPF so I'm not sure what's going wrong.
Edit:
So to give some more information, my control above is a RowHeaderButton, i.e the row header to a grid. Each row in the grid has it's own row header button. So when the user hovers over or clicks it, it should change from white to the specified SolidColorBrush above.
In the code behind of another control, DataGrid.xaml.cs, I have the below code (simplified) which will change the color of the row header when when a cell in the same row of the grid is selected or not.
void UpdateSelectedCells() {
foreach (Cell cell in VisibleColumns.SelectMany(c => c.VisibleCells))
{
int cellRowIndex = cell.CellInfo.RowIndex;
cell.IsSelected = SelectedCells.Contains(cell.CellInfo);
foreach (RowHeaderButton rhb in RowHeadersColumn.VisibleRowHeaders)
{
int rowHeaderIndex = Convert.ToInt16(rhb._default.Text) - 1;
if (cellRowIndex == rowHeaderIndex)
{
if (cell.IsSelected)
{
rhb.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(100, 83, 195, 213));
}
else
{
bool rowselected = false;
//need to check if any other cell in the row is selected, if not then color row header white
foreach (CellInfo celll in SelectedCells)
{
if (celll.RowIndex == cellRowIndex)
{
rowselected = true;
break;
}
}
if (rowselected == false)
rhb.Background = Brushes.White;
}
}
}
}
}
I don't have a ViewModel for this.
