# How to: Create a Rollover Effect Using Events
This example shows how to change the color of an element as the mouse pointer enters and leaves the area occupied by the element.
This example consists of a [!INCLUDE[TLA#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tlasharptla-xaml-md.md)] file and a code-behind file.
> [!NOTE]
> This example demonstrates how to use events, but the recommended way to achieve this same effect is to use a <xref:System.Windows.Trigger> in a style. For more information, see [Styling and Templating](/dotnet/desktop-wpf/fundamentals/styles-templates-overview).
## Example
The following XAML creates the user interface, which consists of <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border> around a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock>, and attaches the <xref:System.Windows.Input.Mouse.MouseEnter> and <xref:System.Windows.UIElement.MouseLeave> event handlers to the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border>.
[!code-xaml[mouseenterMouseleave#MouseEnterLeaveSampleXAML](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/mouseenterMouseleave/CSharp/Window1.xaml#mouseenterleavesamplexaml)]
The following code behind creates the <xref:System.Windows.UIElement.MouseEnter> and <xref:System.Windows.UIElement.MouseLeave> event handlers. When the mouse pointer enters the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border>, the background of the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border> is changed to red. When the mouse pointer leaves the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border>, the background of the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border> is changed back to white.
