When a button is clicked, for a fraction of second it gets highlighted in the theme color set by user for the windwos phone device.What method should be called to over ride this behaviour.I tried using MouseEnter and setting the background as white, but it doesnt work,
System.Windows.Media.SolidColorBrush whiteBrush = new System.Windows.Media.SolidColorBrush(System.Windows.Media.Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 255, 255));
signIn.Background = whiteBrush;
Can someone pls help?
this is the place where you need to do the edition . Change the pressed tag accordingly

Add it to page and let me know :)
You have to use Styles. This allows you to use the VisualStateManager and control what your control looks like during any point of display (Normal, Hovered, Pressed, Focused). This article is pretty verbose on the topic.
Do not use click event just use MouseLeftButtonUp and MouseLeftButtonDown event.
when you press button at that time MouseLeftButtonDown event is fire so in this method you an change color of button using
System.Windows.Media.SolidColorBrush whiteBrush = new System.Windows.Media.SolidColorBrush(System.Windows.Media.Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 255, 255));
signIn.Background = whiteBrush;
And in MouseLeftButtonUp event you can set your normal button color
Hope it will work for you.

I have defined this Style for my button in a universal App like this,I tried to remove the minimization of the button size when I hover on it:
but I have failed,I tried also to remove the PointerOver Block but that affects the Color inversion Style that I have defined to the button :(
<VisualState x:Name="PointerOver"></VisualState>
this is my Style:
<Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="btnForgroundColorWhenHoverWhite">

so please,is it possible to disable the animation on the button when I hover on it
thanks for help
You just have to remove the PointerDownThemeAnimation from the storyboard. This is the one controlling the minimization effect.
<PointerDownThemeAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="RootGrid" />
If you want to completely remove the PointerOver animations, you can remove the content of the PointerOver visual state
<VisualState x:Name="PointerOver">
<Storyboard>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
I want to deactivate the blue highlight on Windows Phone 8.1 that I get whenever I click a Button or ListBox Item. Like everything that is transparent is blue.
The Button is only displayed as a clickable image:
<Button Content="" BorderBrush="Transparent" Foreground="Transparent" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="145,-0.5,146,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="120" Click="btn_Lock" Grid.Row="1">
<Button.Background>
<ImageBrush Stretch="Uniform" ImageSource="Assets/safe_icon.png"/>
</Button.Background>
</Button>
And the ImageBox Items are normal items as well and have a blue background where the rest is transparent when clicking and white when selected. This should not be visible but transparent as well.
Thank you in advance
To make the change to the button control you need to change its style below is an example of changing the style of a button from the themebackgroundcolor to pink...
XAML Styles is a complicated subject ...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/expression/dd279541.aspx
I would recommend watching blend for developers from plural site as well to master this subject
In the below example the buttons color is changed from the default color to pink when it is clicked on...

I am creating an app for windows phone 8 and I want the button control to change colors of borderbrush, background, and foreground when pressed or tapped and when released to change back to its original colors. The problem is the phone uses its accent color when I click on any button in the app after the Tap event has been fired. I notice Tap event is not what I'm looking for since, it changes the color correctly when tapped and doesn't change back when released. I also tried MouseLeftButtonDown (pressed) and MouseLeftButtonUp (released) and it didn't fire whatsoever. Is there a better way to easily change the button's color when pressed and back when released?
I looked at MSDN Network - UIElement Events but couldn't find anything else that fits.
XAML:
<Button Name="btnEmail"
Content="email"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Margin="0,10,0,0"
Grid.Row="4"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Background="OrangeRed"
BorderBrush="OrangeRed"
Tap="btnEmail_Tap"
MouseLeftButtonDown="btnEmail_MouseLeftButtonDown"
MouseLeftButtonUp="btnEmail_MouseLeftButtonUp"
/>
C# Code:
private void btnEmail_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
btnEmail.BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(ColorNames.White.ToColor());
btnEmail.Background = new SolidColorBrush(ColorNames.White.ToColor());
btnEmail.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(ColorNames.OrangeRed.ToColor());
}
private void btnEmail_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
btnEmail.BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(ColorNames.OrangeRed.ToColor());
btnEmail.Background = new SolidColorBrush(ColorNames.OrangeRed.ToColor());
btnEmail.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(ColorNames.White.ToColor());
}
private void btnEmail_Tap(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
{
btnEmail.BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(ColorNames.White.ToColor());
btnEmail.Background = new SolidColorBrush(ColorNames.White.ToColor());
btnEmail.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(ColorNames.OrangeRed.ToColor());
}
Most correct way of doing that is to edit the template.
In Visual Studio 2013, right click the button, select "Edit Template" and "Edit a Copy".
Then, modify the style that was created for you - and change the Storyboard for the pressed state (I added a ///////// to wrap the relevant change):
<Style x:Key="ButtonStyle1" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Grid Background="Transparent">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>

I have to show a listbox which have UI similar as below:
On selection change of list box item I can change the background and foreground of list box item. But i need to change the image also. On selection change the image should change and when i select other item the previous item image should get reset and next selected item image should get change.
Is it possible?
How can I do this?

I am working on Windows Store App project usinc C#/Xaml. The apps main pages uses a Hub Control. Each HubSection has header. Some section use just plane Text but other sections should have interactive headers. This is no problem at all:
<HubSection Header="Plain Header 1">
...
</HubSection>
<HubSection IsHeaderInteractive="True" Header="Interactive Header 2">
...
</HubSection>
When IsHeaderInteractive is true the Header works like a button the interaction is indicated by a chevron in the title:
Interactiv Header 2 >
As far as I can see this the only way of interaction the SDK provides. But I have seen other section headers in other apps. Some use a chevron that does not point to the right but down to indicate that some kind of dropdown menu will open:
Interactiv Header 2 v
Other Headers show some kind of subtitle after the chevron:
LARG TITLE > small subtitle
Are these custom styles are there any SDK functions to get these other headers?
If custom styles are use, does anyone know how they work/look like?
yes, you need to change the ControlTemplate for the HubSection. Right-click on the HubSection in the Designer in Visual Studio or Blend. From the ContextMenu choose "Edit Template->Edit a copy".
You receive the following Style that sets the ControlTemplate:

Look in the ControlTemplate. There's a TextBlock with the name "IsHeaderInteractiveMarker". I've changed the Text to "This is the marker". Now the header shows this text for interactive headers instead of ">". You can just set the text to an empty string "" or exclude the TextBlock for your requirements. If you do the latter one, don't forget to also exclude the Storyboard-Animations for the IsHeaderInteractiveStates-Group.
And see the HubSection, how it references the Style with the custom ControlTemplate via StaticResource-Markup Extension. If you want the Standard-Behaviour on other HubSections, just don't set the Style-Property to the StaticResource. courtsey of Thomas Claudius Huber for helping me out.
