Simulating a mousehover effect on a fontIcon in uwp

Question

Am currently working on a uwp project involving the use of a hamburger menu. So far I generated the menu using this code

Answer 1

Update You cant do that in XAMl. If you want to do in XAMl Use button instead and edit Visual state of Button

You can do like this

     

   private void FontIcon_PointerPressed(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            (sender as FontIcon).Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White);
        }

        private void FontIcon_PointerEntered(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            (sender as FontIcon).Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White);
        }

        private void FontIcon_PointerExited(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            (sender as FontIcon).Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black);
        }
