                                DataContext="{Binding}"
                                     Height="65" Width="79"
                                Background="Black"

                                Background="{Binding Path=ButtonColor}"
                                Content="{Binding Path=CardWasFounded}"/>
                        </DataTemplate>

EDIT

after i have done

    <Button 
                                Name="btn"
                                Click="Button_Click"
                                DataContext="{Binding}"
                                    Height="65" Width="79"
                                Background="Black"/>

                                <DataTemplate.Triggers>
                                <Trigger SourceName="btn" Property="IsMouseCaptured" Value="True" >
                                    <Setter TargetName="btn" Property="Background" Value="Green"/>
                                    <!--"{Binding Path=ButtonColor}"-->
                                </Trigger>
                                </DataTemplate.Triggers>

it's still doesn't work I think it's because the .net default or something when the mouse is over the button its get's the blue defult color insted of my green or my binding ...

my goal its when its clicked to hook up a binding to color and a storyboard can someone help me achive it ?

Answer 1

You can achieve this effect with a trigger. You could set a trigger that changes the Background property to your desired value when the button's IsPressed property (or some similar property) equals true.
