CheckBox changed background on mouse over and in checked state

I'm writing template for CheckBox control.
Here is CheckBox template code:
<Style x:Key="{x:Type CheckBox}"
TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<BulletDecorator Background="Transparent">
<BulletDecorator.Bullet>
<Border x:Name="Border"
Width="15"
Height="15"
CornerRadius="1"
BorderThickness="1"
BorderBrush="DarkGray"
Background="White">
</Border>
</BulletDecorator.Bullet>
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CheckStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Checked">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="Border"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0"
Value="{StaticResource DefaultButtonBlueBrush}" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="Border"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0"
Value="{StaticResource DefaultButtonBlueBrush}" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<ContentPresenter Margin="4,0,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
RecognizesAccessKey="True" />
</BulletDecorator>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I want to change border background color when checkbox in checked state and mouse over. I tried to specify MultiTrigger like that:
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsChecked" Value="True" />
<Condition Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True" />
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<MultiTrigger.Setters>
<Setter TargetName="Border" Property="Background" Value="Red" />
</MultiTrigger.Setters>
</MultiTrigger>
But this don't work.
Is this even possible in wpf?
Thank you.

WPF (opposed to UWP) has stricter limitations regarding the possibilities when using the VisualStateManager. You can only target a property once per state. Which makes quite sense. When in the Checked state, the property BorderBackground is animated to the corresponding value. When your MultiTrigger is activated it tries to modify the Border.Background property, which is currently blocked by the active animation.
You can either replace the relevant visual states with triggers or let animation and trigger target different elements.
Simply overlay the content of the BulletDecorator with an additional Border and toggle its Background instead:
<Style x:Key="{x:Type CheckBox}" TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<BulletDecorator Background="Transparent">
<BulletDecorator.Bullet>
<Grid>
<Border x:Name="MouseOverBorder"
Panel.ZIndex="1"
Background="Transparent"
CornerRadius="1"
BorderThickness="1" />
<Border x:Name="Border"
Width="15"
Height="15"
CornerRadius="1"
BorderThickness="1"
BorderBrush="DarkGray"
Background="White" />
</Grid>
</BulletDecorator.Bullet>

Button Foreground color change on Pressed

I am writing a Windows 10 UWP App. I created a button which contains stackpanel with two textblocks. I want to change foreground of these textblocks on pressed.
I modified Default Button Style. so, on clicking of this button, BorderBrush is changing but foreground of textblocks is not.
<Button Command="{Binding}" Style="{StaticResource Button|SecondaryPurpleButtonStyle}" >
<Button.Content>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Margin="4" Style="{StaticResource TextBlock|MenuIconTextBlockStyle}" Foreground="{StaticResource Color|BrandLogoPurpleSolidColorBrush}"
Text="" />
<TextBlock Style="{StaticResource ThemedBodyTextBlockStyle}" Foreground="{StaticResource Color|BrandLogoPurpleSolidColorBrush}"
Margin="4" Text="Add to Shortlist" />
</StackPanel>
</Button.Content>
</Button>
Style:
<Style x:Key="Button|SecondaryPurpleButtonStyle"

In your XAML code, you have set TextBlock's Foreground property to {StaticResource Color|BrandLogoPurpleSolidColorBrush} explicitly. So the foreground won't change.
To make sure the foreground of textblocks can be changed as BorderBrush, please delete Foreground property in your TextBlock and also make sure you didn't set Foreground property in TextBlock's style.
<Button Command="{Binding}" Style="{StaticResource Button|SecondaryPurpleButtonStyle}" >
<Button.Content>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Margin="4" Style="{StaticResource TextBlock|MenuIconTextBlockStyle}" Text="" />
<TextBlock Style="{StaticResource ThemedBodyTextBlockStyle}" Margin="4" Text="Add to Shortlist" />
</StackPanel>
</Button.Content>
</Button>
So that the TextBlocks in Button.Content will use ContentPresenter's Foreground which can be changed in different VisualStates.

Different height of Button with image in wp8

I have a button defined in my xaml as
<Button BorderBrush="Transparent" Click="Menu_Btn" Margin="71,584,0,-2" Height="36" Width="38" Padding="0">
<Image Source="Assets/menu.png" Stretch="UniformToFill" Height="36" Width="38"/>
</Button>
As can be seen, I have specifically set the height of button and width equal to the image, however in xaml it doesn't wrap the image properly and shows more width and height. What is going on?
Why is this box bigger, why can't I set margin properly instead of 40, I have to give 71 values.

<Button> have an extra Margin that is not part of the Properties you can edit in the Properties box. However, you can edit it by editing the template for it.
Document Online -> Select Button -> Edit Template -> Edit A Copy
Get rid of Margin="{StaticResource PhoneTouchTargetOverhang}" on the Border and it will stretch properly.
<Style x:Key="ButtonStyle1" TargetType="Button">

My TextBox vanishes when I add a VisualState

I try to use Visual States in a Windows Phone 8 application (C#-XAML). The screen is dark. Here is the style I defined in App.xaml:
<Style x:Key="StyleDeBaseTextBox" TargetType="TextBox">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="SelectionBackground" Value="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="SelectionForeground" Value="{StaticResource PhoneBackgroundBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="InputScope" Value="Text"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="40px"/>
</Style>
It works, but when the TextBox has the focus, its background becomes white. As the foreground color remains white, you can't read what you write. So, I added this property, but the result is that my TextBox disappears (though I get no error message):
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="TextBox">
<Grid>
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Disabled"/>
<VisualState x:Name="PointerOver"/>
<VisualState x:Name="ButtonVisible"/>
<VisualState x:Name="ButtonCollapsed"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Focused">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="TextBox" Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush" To="Green" Duration="0"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>

TextBox vanishes because you override its ControlTemplate and doesn't provide any content host.
Copy the default template of TextBox from MSDN and change the StoryBoard as per your needs.
Anyhow this is ControlTemplate which you can use. It also change border brush to green on focus. Hope this is what you want:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="TextBoxBase">
<Border BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding Border.BorderThickness}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding Border.BorderBrush}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Panel.Background}"
Name="border"
SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<ScrollViewer HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
Name="PART_ContentHost"
Focusable="False" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="UIElement.IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="UIElement.Opacity" TargetName="border" Value="0.56"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="UIElement.IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Border.BorderBrush" TargetName="border"
Value="#FF7EB4EA"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="UIElement.IsKeyboardFocused" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Border.BorderBrush" TargetName="border"
Value="Green"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>

How to make a textbox multined and making the scrollbar visible in xaml?

I am using windows phone sdk using xaml and here the textbox' properties doesnt show option for making it multi-lined. So what code should I write in the textbox for making it multined and rendering the scrollbar visible in the phone demonstartor.

This style makes the Textbox multiline and also enables scrolling vertically

and below is how you apply it on a textbox.
<TextBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="72" Margin="0,161,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="TextBox" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="456" Style="{StaticResource TextBoxStyle1}"/>
Hope it Helps.

<TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
AcceptsReturns="True" MaxHeight="100">
It needs to set MaxHeight to ensure that it remains a sensible size.
