I need to create a trigger, that will change Border background property, when MouseEnter occurred. I did the follow:
<Border Width="20" Height="30" Focusable="True">
<Border.Background>
<LinearGradientBrush>
<LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>
<GradientStop Color="Aquamarine" Offset="0"/>
</LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Border.Background>
<Border.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Border}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<LinearGradientBrush>
<LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>
<GradientStop Color="Aquamarine" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="Beige" Offset="0.2"/>
<GradientStop Color="Firebrick" Offset="0.5"/>
<GradientStop Color="DarkMagenta" Offset="0.9"/>
</LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Border.Style>
</Border>
but it doesn't work. Thanks.
Common mistake. You have set the Border.Background property directly which will always override the value set by your trigger. (Locally set values have a very high precedence, style has a pretty low precedence.)
Instead, you should move your "normal" background into the Style like so:
<Border>
<Border.Style>
<Style TargetType="Border">
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<LinearGradientBrush>
<LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>
<GradientStop Color="Aquamarine" Offset="0"/>
</LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<!-- the trigger you showed -->
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Border.Style>
</Border>
