Setting the VisualStyle property on a C1Input control will control the gradients and borders used to paint C1TextBox, C1Label, C1DbNavigator, C1DropDownControl, C1DateEdit (including the drop down calendar), C1NumericEdit (including the drop down calculator), and C1Button.
To customize the appearance of a C1Input control using Visual Styles, set the VisualStyle property to Custom, Office2007Black, Office2007Blue, Office2007Silver, System, Office2010Blue, Office2010Black, or Office2010Silver.
