C# Change A Button's Background Color

Question

How can the background color of a button once another button is pressed?

What I have at the moment is:

ButtonToday.Background = Color.Red;
         


        

Answer 1

I had trouble at first with setting the colors for a WPF applications controls. It appears it does not include System.Windows.Media by default but does include Windows.UI.Xaml.Media, which has some pre-filled colors.

I ended up using the following line of code to get it to work:

grid.Background.SetValue(SolidColorBrush.ColorProperty, Windows.UI.Colors.CadetBlue);

You should be able to change grid.Background to most other controls and then change CadetBlue to any of the other colors it provides.
