This question is related to previously asked question which wasn't solved Problem when assigning Background to Button control[^]

Starting from a scratch windows phone silverlight application. I added three buttons, button1, button2, and button3. I wrote the following code in the button1_click event handler.

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
       {

           button1.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
           button2.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Brown);
           button3.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Yellow);

       }

Only button2 and button3 's background is changed, but button1's background is not altered. What can be the problem? Please help

Problem solved!!

Instead of changing the actual background itself, using the reference of the background solves the problem.

C#

private void HighlightButton(Button btnToHighlight)
        {

            SolidColorBrush sBrush = (SolidColorBrush)btnToHighlight.Background;


            sBrush.Color = //enter your colour here
            btnToHighlight.Background = sBrush;

        }

Implemented this for all the buttons. Voila!!!
