I'm on WINDOWS 10 and POWERSHELL 7.4.3.

I want to change the colors (fore- and backColor) of a button-control when the mouse hovers/leaves the button. Here is an excerpt of the button-control-settings:

$MyButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$MyButton.FlatStyle = [System.Windows.Forms.FlatStyle]::Flat
$MyButton.Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font("Roboto", 12,[System.Drawing.FontStyle]::Bold,[System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit]::Point, 0)
$MyButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(5, 112)
$MyButton.Name = "MyButton"
$MyButton.Text = "My button"
$MyButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(150, 40)

I tried adding

$MyButton.Add_MouseHover({$MyButton.Color = [System.Drawing.Color]::Orange})

to change the foreColor but the color does not change when the mouse hovers the button.

Any suggestions?

Peace

Instead of MouseHover, use events MouseEnter and MouseLeave

$DemoForm = [System.Windows.Forms.Form]::new()

$MyButton           = [System.Windows.Forms.Button]::new()
$MyButton.FlatStyle = [System.Windows.Forms.FlatStyle]::Flat
$MyButton.Font      = [System.Drawing.Font]::new('Roboto', 12,[System.Drawing.FontStyle]::Bold,[System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit]::Point, 0)
$MyButton.Location  = [System.Drawing.Point]::new(55, 112)
$MyButton.Size      = [System.Drawing.Size]::new(150, 40)
$MyButton.Name      = "MyButton"
$MyButton.Text      = "My button"

$MyButton.Add_MouseEnter({
    $this.ForeColor = [System.Drawing.Color]::Orange
    $this.BackColor = [System.Drawing.Color]::CadetBlue
})

$MyButton.Add_MouseLeave({
    $this.ForeColor = $DemoForm.ForeColor
    $this.BackColor = $DemoForm.BackColor
})

$DemoForm.Controls.Add($MyButton)

$DemoForm.ShowDialog()

# don't forget to remove the form from memory when all done
$DemoForm.Dispose()
