In this article let us see the distinctive methods for utilizing the property Clickmode for a Button Control in a Silverlight application. Of course, open the visual studio and select the Silverlight 5 project.

First let us drag 3 different Button and TextBlock controls to Stack Panel as shown below into MainPage.xaml. Here I utilized a property called "ClickMode" for all the three button controls, But the value assigned to it is diverse.

For the first button I allocated the quality Hover to the ClickMode property, It implies that the click event handler happens at whatever point the mouse is floated onto this button.

For the second button, I allocated the quality Press to the ClickMode property, It implies that the click occasion handler happens at whatever point the mouse is clicked on this catch.  For the third button I assigned the value Release to the ClickMode property, It implies that the click event handler happens at whatever point the mouse is discharged from this button.

<Button x:Name="btn1" Margin ="5" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Foreground="Black" Width="320" Click="OnClick1"
Content="On Mouse Hover this text will appear below" ClickMode="Hover" />
<TextBlock x:Name="text1" Margin ="0,8,0,0" />
<Button x:Name="btn2" Margin ="5,5,5,5"  HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Foreground="Black" Width="320" Click="OnClick2"
Content="On Button Press this text will appear below" ClickMode="Press" />
<TextBlock x:Name="text2" Margin="0,8,0,0" />
<Button x:Name="btn3" Margin ="5,5,5,5" HorizontalAlignment="Left"           

Click="OnClick3" Width="320" Content="On Button Release this text will appear    below" ClickMode="Release"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="text3" Margin ="0,8,0,0" />

Now i am writing the code for button click events in the MainPage.xaml.cs
public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        void OnClick1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            btn1.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
            text1.Text = "On Mouse Hover this text will appear below.";
            text2.Text = "";
            text3.Text = "";
        }
        void OnClick2(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            btn2.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green);
            text1.Text = "";
            text2.Text = "On Button Press this text will appear below.";
            text3.Text = "";
        }
        void OnClick3(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            btn1.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green);
            btn2.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
            text1.Text = "";
            text2.Text = "";
            text3.Text = "On Button Release this text will appear below.";
        }

Just refresh it. And here is the output.
