Hi,
If you hover your cursor over a button border, it will trigger Hover properties, but the cursor will not change. Clicking will trigger Pressed properties, but OnSelect will not execute. It can be very misleading to the user if you're using thick button borders.

Partly true...the pressed property will not be true if clicking on the border. The border itself does not provide any actions.
The misleading part is that when clicking on the border, the button visually responds as if it is being pressed.
Yup, I should've clarified that by "Pressed properties" I meant the set of properties relating to the visual response. The actual boolean Pressed doesn't respond indeed.
Yes, in general the border of any control will not participate in the behavioral actions of the control. It is meant to be a visual aspect of the control only.
Visual aspect or not, it's not really user friendly when you click on a button, you see him react to your action (click) but you never trigger expected behavior.
I can understand that a shadow box don't trigger the action associated with the button, but it's really strange for me that I can't include the border of a button to be "really" an integral part of this button... 😕
Anyway, is there a way to "fully include" the border to my button ? Or if I find this behavior to be a "customer killer", I' just can't never use borders on my buttons ? 😥
