Hello Everyone,  
I am trying to show that a container is clickable and to do so,I am thinking to change the border color when mouse enters there and goes back to normal when mouse exit. How do I do this? I found something about “toBorder” but that one is for binding. I tried same with scripting but did not work. Let me know how I can achieve this or even if you have better idea to show that container is clickable.

Thank you

Not elegant but it should work:

1. Add a custom property to your container, i’ll call it “status” and set it to 0

2. Add one mouse entered script to change “status” to 1

3. Add one mouse exit script to change “status” back to 0

4. Use a style driven by your custom property “Status” to change the border
