I am trying to implement the ability to click through only part of a transparent background. The background image is a solid gray and has 3 circles, a rectangle, and an oval shape. The image is transparent. Button 1 appears inside of the rectangle and button 2 appears inside of the oval. When the program runs both buttons are visible but currently not clickable because the image is in a grid and added after the buttons. I would like to make only the rectangle click through so button 1 can be clicked, but still keep the image ahead of button 2 so it is not clickable.
I've searched around quite a bit for a solution but have not found what I'm looking for. This example is a dumbed down version of what I'm currently working on - but the functionality is essentially the same. Any help would be appreciated.
Xaml:
<Window x:Class="TransparentClickThrough.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<Button x:Name="ButtonOne" Click="ButtonOne_Click" Content="Button1" Width="50" Height="25" ></Button>
<Button x:Name="ButtonTwo" Content="Button2" Width="50" Height="25" Margin="379,100,59,148" Click="ButtonTwo_Click"></Button>
<Image Source="/TransparentClickThrough;component/background.png" />
</Grid>
</Window>

private void ButtonOne_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("You clicked button 1!");
}
private void ButtonTwo_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("You clicked button 2!");
}
}
}
background - 3 circles, rectangle, and oval are all set to transparent
