The ToolStripRenderEventArgs class also provides data for the DrawImageMargin, DrawToolStripBorder, and DrawToolStripBackground methods.

The following code example demonstrates how to override the OnRenderToolStripBorder method to draw a custom border around a ToolStrip control. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ToolStripRenderer class.


// This method draws a border around the GridStrip control.
protected override void OnRenderToolStripBorder(
    ToolStripRenderEventArgs e)
{
    base.OnRenderToolStripBorder(e);

    ControlPaint.DrawFocusRectangle(
        e.Graphics,
        e.AffectedBounds,
        SystemColors.ControlDarkDark,
        SystemColors.ControlDarkDark);
}
