Panel::Background Property
Visual Studio 2010
Namespace: System.Windows.Controls
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
Panel elements do not receive mouse or stylus events if a Background is not defined. If you need to handle mouse or stylus events but do not want a background for your Panel, use Transparent.
The following example sets the Background of a Grid to a RadialGradientBrush.
<Grid> <Grid.Background> <RadialGradientBrush GradientOrigin="0.5,0.5" Center="0.5,0.5" RadiusX="0.5" RadiusY="0.5"> <RadialGradientBrush.GradientStops> <GradientStop Color="Yellow" Offset="0" /> <GradientStop Color="Red" Offset="0.25" /> <GradientStop Color="Blue" Offset="0.75" /> <GradientStop Color="Green" Offset="1" /> </RadialGradientBrush.GradientStops> </RadialGradientBrush> </Grid.Background> </Grid>
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
