ContentElement.IsMouseOver Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows

Assembly:

PresentationCore.dll

Gets a value that indicates whether the mouse pointer is located over this element (including visual child elements, or its control compositing).

public:
 property bool IsMouseOver { bool get(); };

public bool IsMouseOver { get; }

member this.IsMouseOver : bool

Public ReadOnly Property IsMouseOver As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if mouse pointer is over the element or its child elements; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Implements

IsMouseOver

Examples

The following example creates a style that includes a property setter that gives an alternate visual behavior when a Hyperlink reports IsMouseOver true.

<Style.Triggers>
  <Trigger Property="Hyperlink.IsEnabled" Value="false">
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Gray"/>
  </Trigger>
  <Trigger Property="Hyperlink.IsMouseOver" Value="true">
    <Setter Property = "Foreground" Value="{StaticResource BlueGreenBrush}"/>
  </Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>

Remarks

Although an analogous "IsMouseOverChanged" event does not exist, several similar events do. For example, you can use MouseEnter, MouseMove, and IsMouseDirectlyOverChanged.

If this element captures the mouse, this property remains true until mouse capture is lost and the mouse pointer leaves the element bounds.
