In our themes, the Control.BackgroundProperty is defined by several elements with different colors, gradients, margins, paddings and corner rounding. You can't specify this complex functionality with only the Control.BackgroundProperty property. You can implement your own template using the TextEditThemeKey key ({dxet:TextEditThemeKey ResourceKey=BorderTemplate}). Also, you need to bind to the Background property.

Is it a problem that the control template's binding references TextEdit, yet is also used in DateEdit and ComboBoxEdit?
