Image button Custom Control, silverlight

Question

I am trying to build the Image button by setting

<Button.Content>
<Image Source="..."/>
</Button.Content>

Everything is Fine but i am not able to set the Visual States when button is clicked i wanted to something like Flash on top of button (Blue Purple Theme).

One more thing I need to create around 10 such button with different Images I think Custom Control works fine.

Any help is appretiated.

Thanks Lavanya

You'll want to re-template your Button(s) and wrap that up into a Style.

Then use the VisualStateManager (easiest from within Blend 3) to change the visual properties on various states.
