The Trinidad renderers usually just call: renderStyleClass(context, arc, styleClass);
If you want to do this from a non-Trinidad component, then you could call RenderingContext arc = RenderingContext.getCurrentInstance(); String style = arc.getStyleClass(styleClass); where styleClass would be "af|panelBox::body" or similar.
