Painting a custom BG on TextBox

P

Phil Jones

I'm inherting from the winform [TextBox] control. I'm wanting to override
the OnPaintBackground paint a custom background, however these method are
not being called.

Is the TextBox doing something funny in it's implementation or am I missing
something here? What would be the correct way to go abount painting a
custom background on the TextBox?

Many thanks!

I have a similar problem with listboxes. The only way to have any effect is
to set ControlStyles to
UserPaint. That has an effect but doesn't work. I believe certain controls
(such as textbox and list box) paint their backgrounds differently from
other controls.

Rat! Don't suppose anyone know of any textbox control's that are 100%
managed code per chance?

Many thanks people!
