I'm sure that this is something simple that I'm missing. What I'm trying to do is to get the appearance data for an UltraFormattedTextEditor.
What I did was the following

Infragistics.Win.AppearanceData appearanceData = new Infragistics.Win.AppearanceData();
Infragistics.Win.AppearancePropFlags renderFlags = Infragistics.Win.AppearancePropFlags.BackColor |
Infragistics.Win.AppearancePropFlags.BackColorAlpha |
Infragistics.Win.AppearancePropFlags.ForeColor |
Infragistics.Win.AppearancePropFlags.BorderColor |
Infragistics.Win.AppearancePropFlags.BorderAlpha;
newNewsItems.ResolveAppearance(ref appearanceData, ref renderFlags);

What I get back is that only the ForeColor appearance is resolved.

If I then set these appearance properties as in

newNewsItems.Appearance.BackColorAlpha = Infragistics.Win.Alpha.Transparent;
newNewsItems.Appearance.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
newNewsItems.Appearance.BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
newNewsItems.Appearance.BorderAlpha = Infragistics.Win.Alpha.Transparent;

then I do get the resolved appearance for the control. What I was expecting (trying to do) was to get the appearance data for the control based on the applied style.

I've also tried the following

appearance = new Infragistics.Win.AppearanceData();
Infragistics.Win.AppStyling.UIRole uirole = role.GetRole("UltraFormattedTextEditor");
Infragistics.Win.AppearancePropFlags renderFlags = Infragistics.Win.AppearancePropFlags.AllRender;
uirole.ResolveAppearance(ref appearance, ref renderFlags, Infragistics.Win.AppStyling.RoleState.Normal);

So is there some other role or "thing" in the formatted text editor that I need to be looking at to get the right appearance data?

In the above code (using the uirole,  I also tried looking at the "FormattedTextUIElement" and the "TextSelectionUIElement" that seemed to be in the hierarchy for the editor.

Thanks
