Sorry, I checked into this further, and the Gradient control expects a hierarchy of parameters (color.red, color.green, etc) and not flat list. Creating hierarchy of parameters on a custom property has never been exposed to the SDK, so you can't construct one, and therefore could never use this widget in its current form
