I have 3 buttons. I created a style that I use for all of three of the buttons to show MouseOver and Pressed states. I need to have logic to indicate which button was selected / clicked. If the button is clicked then the background color should stay/be as for pressed state and other two buttons should be reset to background color to be as a normal state. Below is the code I have. I am wondering if it is possible to achieve all in XAML or how to do it in code behind? Thank you I advance.
