    {
        this.Background = Brushes.BurlyWood;
    }

    {
        this.Background = Brushes.Ivory;
    }
}

Private Sub MouseButtonEventHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseButtonEventArgs)
    If e.ButtonState = MouseButtonState.Pressed Then
        Me.Background = Brushes.BurlyWood
    End If

        Me.Background = Brushes.Ivory
    End If
