Background Brush

Hey stein,

The result will look the same, but there is a small difference.
When you set Background = {x:Null} the object will simply have no background
If you set Background = "Transparent" the object will have a white
background but the alpha value of the background will be set to 0 and you
won't see the background. the color code is #00FFFFFF (ARGB)

Is setting

Background={x:Null} equivalent to

Backgournd="Transparent"

Thanks,

Thanks,I ask because I have a WPF app hosted in MFC and I have the
following scenario within the WPF app:

Grid

I have overwritten the ListBox control template to remove the border
and just have the scroll viewer. I then overwrite the ListBoxItem
template to have a nice outerborder. Now when I select a listbox item
the border of the listbox item should overlap the border in the grid
(mBord).

However this doesn't work. In a pure WPF app it works, but in the MFC
hosted app I get the an effect where the ListBox item's border is
drawn on top of the main border (mBord), but I can still see some of
the main border. In the pure WPF app it overwrites it. That is why my
initial question was asked - I want to know if I should be using one
or the other in an app that uses WPF and MFC.

Is this a known issue?

Note that I am only seeing this strange behavior on XP, not Vista...

This question is better asked on the WPF newsgroups - there will be more
experts there dealing with MFC hosting issues.

Fred is right as far as I can tell - setting something to x:Null will result
in it being not-hittestable - setting something to Transparent will result
in it being hit-testable. So there is a difference...
