Type	Description
LinearGradientMode	A LinearGradientMode enumeration value giving the gradient’s direction as specified by the appearance object’s settings.

Remarks

If the appearance object’s AppearanceOptions.UseBackColor property is set to false and it has a parent, this method returns the gradient direction of the parent’s background. Otherwise, the current appearance object’s AppearanceObject.GradientMode property value is returned.
