Change background of a button with scripting

#1

Hi,

I’ve three buttons, each button shows a layer and hides the other two. What I need is to change the style of the active button (e.g. background color), does anybody know how to do this?

Thanks.

#2

Put a script like

button1.background = new dundas.controls.SolidColorBrush('red'); button2.background = new dundas.controls.SolidColorBruth('gray');

on each button, where ‘button1’ is the active button, and ‘button2’ is the inactive one.

There are three main colour properties with the button (Down,Rest and Hover) just in case you are looking to do a bit more.

button1.hoverBackground = new dundas.controls.SolidColorBrush(‘green’);
button1.downBackground = new dundas.controls.SolidColorBrush(‘purple’);
button1.restBackground = new dundas.controls.SolidColorBrush(‘blue’);

Thanks Jeff. That’s exactly what I needed!

Thanks David. I used the solution @jeff appointed, just because it’s more complete and it changes all the possible events of the button!
