Remarks

(Persistent property, available at design time) Specifies the style of a gradient color for use when you implement a transitional paint effect or when you draw a three-dimensional shape or text object.

A gradient color starts as one color and ends as another, with the specified number of transitional colors from start to end. Related properties work together as follows:

$image\sqrblit.gif$ GradientStyle specifies the style.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ GradientStartColor specifies the starting color.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ GradientEndColor specifies the ending color.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ GradientSteps specifies the number of colors from start to end.

For possible values of the GradientStyle property, refer to Gradients.
