silverlight invisible hit area

Question

I would like to know how to make an invisible hit area in silverlight. I have created a UIelement leftmousebuttondown event that calls a planeprojectionfunction(this function rotates the UIelment on its X-axis). However as the element is rotated there is less surface area for the mouse to click on. Any ideas?

Use a canvas and set the opacity to 1%. It will increase CPU usage a little bit (usually not noticeable) but that's a quick and easy approach.

EDIT:

As KeithMahoney pointed out, don't forget to set the background to a brush with some color. Canvas by default does not have a background brush.
