You can create a mousehover event in your code behind and in that you can do whatever you want.
A perfect and precise answer of both of your questions is the following video

I'm developing a Universal Windows App in VS2015 (C#, XAML).
I have an AppBarButton on a RelativePanel, The panel's background is black.
When I move the mouse over the button (Hover), it turns black with a darkgray background, which is not visible on a dark background:
Please tell me how to change the colors for the button in all mouse states: hover, mousedown,...etc.
Thank you
You need to create custom style template for button to overwrite the hover effect and behaviour.
Please open the button in Blend by using Edit A copy and then edit its template! you might need to remove some element.
Mostly it shall be a button as the property of changing color is exhibited by a button control
I’m trying to make a button that displays an image, that’s easy, but the image is an editable icon so I want the image on the button to be updated every time the form is started how can this be done?
I am making the assumption that you are using WinForms and saving your editied icon to a file.
Take a look at this MSDN page on ButtonBase.Image Property.
From above link:
button1.Image = Image.FromFile("C:\Graphics\MyBitmap.bmp")
You can put this in the New Subroutine after the InitializeComponent Statement. or in your Form Load event.
Use Graphics method and also handle the Paint event of Button. You can add text and primitive drawing on Image or Button region.
i have my button:
completely trasparent, text in white.
But when i click it, the background goes white and the text black, and it seems to move up :-|
i want only execute the action, i don't want those strange effects. any ideas? thanks!
That's the default behaviour of Button control,
if you want to avoid it you have some options:
Use another control like textBlock and use OnMouseLeftButtonDown/Up
Customize the template of your button: See the link bellow, this is default style of a button, you can copy/paste the Template part and modify it as you want. (You need to play with different visual states)

How to make glossy button in Vb.Net?
or
how change button background on mouseover?
If you are using WinForms, you usually achieve this by creating a new class inheriting from System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.
From there, overwrite OnMouseEnter, OnMouseLeave, and OnPaint to draw a button to your specifications.
hope my reply helps you
Select the button
Go to its properties and change the button style to FLAT
In the same property widow now select FLAT SETTINGS
And you can see color to appear when clicked or hover on it...
I have a button and inside my button I have an image control. When the users click on the image I'd like to animate the button so it appears the button was pressed. I don't really care whether the actual button press event fires or not--it's the illusion of a button press I want to see.
Note: the only options I see on the web involve writing directly to the Windows API--a level of complexity and non-upgradability I really don't want to get into.
Why not just use two different images, one for a normal state, and another for when your button is being pressed.
If you want to go for more complicated route try using GDI+. Here is a quick sample tutorial on how to do this.
Why are you using an image control inside your button control instead of using the button control's Image property?
Using the Image property of the button will give you a button with an image that the user can press and that will raise the OnClick event without doing any extra work or re-implementing features that are already available.
I ended up making my picturbox look like a button by giving it a raised border style. Then on the mouseclick event I simulate the look of a button press by changing the border style for a few hundred miliseconds.
Private Sub simulateButtonPress(ByRef pictureBox As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraPictureBox)
pictureBox.BorderStyle = Infragistics.Win.UIElementBorderStyle.Inset
Application.DoEvents()
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(400)
pictureBox.BorderStyle = Infragistics.Win.UIElementBorderStyle.Raised
Application.DoEvents()
End Sub
