How do you disable MouseOver effects on a Button in WPF?

by

Look what your control template boils down to:

<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
   <Button>
      <ContentPresenter/>
   </Button>
</ControlTemplate>

You’re saying, “I want to replace the look of my button with… a button.” The usage of the ControlTemplate is to replace the visual tree of a control. So you are replacing the visual tree of the existing button with another button. If you want to start a button from scratch, try using the SimpleStyles button:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
   <Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true"/>
   <Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true"/>
   <Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="23"/>
   <Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="75"/>
   <Setter Property="Template">
      <Setter.Value>
         <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
            <Border Name="Border" CornerRadius="2" BorderThickness="1"
                    Background="#C0C0C0"
                    BorderBrush="#404040">
               <ContentPresenter Margin="2" 
                                 HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                                 VerticalAlignment="Center" 
                                 RecognizesAccessKey="True"/>
            </Border>
            <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
               <Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="true">
                  <Setter TargetName="Border" 
                          Property="BorderBrush" Value="#202020" />
               </Trigger>
               <Trigger Property="IsDefaulted" Value="true">
                  <Setter TargetName="Border" 
                          Property="BorderBrush" Value="#202020" />
               </Trigger>
               <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
                  <Setter TargetName="Border" 
                          Property="Background" Value="#808080" />
               </Trigger>
               <Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="true">
                  <Setter TargetName="Border" 
                          Property="Background" Value="#E0E0E0" />
                  <Setter TargetName="Border" 
                          Property="BorderBrush" Value="#606060" />
               </Trigger>
               <Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
                  <Setter TargetName="Border" 
                          Property="Background" Value="#EEEEEE" />
                  <Setter TargetName="Border" 
                          Property="BorderBrush" Value="#AAAAAA" />
                  <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#888888"/>
               </Trigger>
            </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
         </ControlTemplate>
      </Setter.Value>
   </Setter>
</Style>

Notice that this template creates a button the simplest possible way: a border that contains the button content. It does not use another button embedded inside the template.
