I am new to wpf, and I am trying to change a button\'s image on mouse hovering with no success (using some methods that mentioned in some answers).

The code is:

Answer 1

please try to set the next style as a style for your button:

  <Style x:Key="ChangeContentOnMouseOver" TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type Button}}">
        <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="False">
                <Setter Property="Content">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <Image Source="Images/RedButtonBackGround.jpg"/>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Trigger>
            <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
                <Setter Property="Content">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <Image Source="Images/Koala.jpg"/>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Trigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>

A small explanation: Each time you will over your button with the mouse, the content image will be switched.

Update #1 - Style with animation when pressed

<Style x:Key="ChangeContentOnMouseOverWithAnimationWhenPressed" TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type Button}}">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource RedButtonBackGround}"/>
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Yellow"></Setter>
        <Setter Property="Width" Value="50"></Setter>
        <Setter Property="Height" Value="50"></Setter>
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
                    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5 0.5">
                        <Grid.RenderTransform>
                            <ScaleTransform></ScaleTransform>
                        </Grid.RenderTransform>
                        <Border x:Name="MyBorder" CornerRadius="5" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderThickness="1"/>

Explanation for Update #1: Here the button control is completely re-templated, you can define your own content as you need, and in addition it is animated when pressed(like a regular button). The animation is a scaling of the button with some parameters.

You can see how it looks like:
