I've tried to create an UltraGroupBox which has a content area using a vertical gradient in the AppStylist but I couldn't get it work. In fact I couldn't even see the gradient in the preview of the AppStylist! If I used a solid background that worked fined. When playing around to get this thing working I found out that if I just set the BackGradientStyle of the ContentAreaAppearance of each UltraGroupBox to Vertical also the gradient set by AppStylist is working fine. I've confirmed that with 6 UltraGroupBoxes now and the behaviour ist the same for all of them.
Looks for me as there is a bug somewhere?
I'm using both NetAdvantage and AppStylist in Version 7.3.

Hi Wolfgang,
So just to make sure I understand this - you are saying that if you set the GradientStyle in AppStylist, it does not work, but if you set it in code, it works?
If that's the case, then this is probably a bug. You should Submit an incident to Infragistics Developer Support so they can get it corrected.
Hi Mike!
Thanks for your reply! I've found the problem when looking with a text editor into .isl file I realized that the gradient style was not set at all, just BackColor and BackColor2. This explains why I could see the gradient if I set the style to vertical in code. I reopened the .isl file in AppStylist, set the gradient style there to vertical, set it to default in code and now it works perfectly fine.
