How to manage surface lighting

Starting from version 8 of the control, you can decide from which direction the light impacts the 3d button surface. The simplest way to change the light direction at design-time is to use, inside 3D Button Visual Editor, the Lighting tab. At run-time each of these properties can be referenced by name.
