title: Windows Phone 8 XAML app - Clickable Rectangle object
body: <p>I'm in need of making a rectangle clickable, at which it will run a function that animates it and does some stuff. I've tried to browse Microsoft's API, but I don't find anything and I'm going crazy because of this. This will be the last time I touch XAML, but I really need to know how to get this to work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Grid Background=Transparent&gt;
      &lt;Grid same same&gt;
          &lt;Rectangle MouseLeftButtonDown="moveClick" x:Name="red" 
                  Fill="Red" Height="125" Width="125" Stroke="Pink" 
              StrokeThickness="10" Margin="106,196,225,348" 
              /&gt;
      &lt;/Grid&gt;
  &lt;/Grid&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is one of my rectangles and I have a function called moveClick in the .xaml.cs file that should be called. In that function there is some code firing up an animation that will target this rectangles. Since I have a lot of rectangles I want to animate I am changing the target depending on which one is pressed. Problem is, the MouseEvent isn't happening. I have googled for hours but Microsoft's help is useless. I don't know what to do.</p>
  
  <p>I can't really post more code than this because then I'd have to rewrite it all over due to my PC I'm programming on has no internet connection. THis is my laptop and I'm going through my phone because my normal internet is down. My desktop has no wifi.</p>
  
  <p>SO, can anybody who has had experience with Windows apps tell me what the reason could be? Is it because I'm in a grid? I saw somewhere that it has to have a transparent background. It is. I'm so clueless because there's nothing to go on because wherever I look, I find something irrelevant or dead ends.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Just to clarify, the animation works. I temporarily set it to run by pressing a button used for something else. And it works. It just doesn't work when touching the Rectangles.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT TWO: I'm just using the template, and just added stuff under the ContentPanel as they call it.</p>
