          Retrieves the default style map for the current component. The style map contains
         the type that is appropriate for the component, depending on the style that
         the component uses. For example, the
          <code>disabledTextFormat</code>
          style 
         contains a value of
          <code>null</code>
          or a TextFormat object. 
         You can use these styles and call
          <code>setStyle()</code>
          on the current 
         component. The following code overrides the default
          <code>disabledTextFormat</code>
          style on the specified component:
          <div class="listing"><pre>componentInstance.setStyle("disabledTextFormat", new TextFormat());</pre></div>
