Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to override the OnRenderToolStripBackground method to paint a gradient in the background of a ToolStrip control. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ToolStripRenderer class.
// This method renders the GridStrip control's background.
protected override void OnRenderToolStripBackground(
ToolStripRenderEventArgs e)
{
base.OnRenderToolStripBackground(e);
// This late initialization is a workaround. The gradient
// depends on the bounds of the GridStrip control. The bounds
// are dependent on the layout engine, which hasn't fully
// performed layout by the time the Initialize method runs.
if (this.backgroundBrush == null)
{
this.backgroundBrush = new LinearGradientBrush(
e.ToolStrip.ClientRectangle,
SystemColors.ControlLightLight,
SystemColors.ControlDark,
90,
true);
}
// Paint the GridStrip control's background.
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(
this.backgroundBrush,
e.AffectedBounds);
}
' This method renders the GridStrip control's background.
Protected Overrides Sub OnRenderToolStripBackground(e As ToolStripRenderEventArgs)
MyBase.OnRenderToolStripBackground(e)
' This late initialization is a workaround. The gradient
' depends on the bounds of the GridStrip control. The bounds
' are dependent on the layout engine, which hasn't fully
' performed layout by the time the Initialize method runs.
If Me.backgroundBrush Is Nothing Then
Me.backgroundBrush = New LinearGradientBrush(e.ToolStrip.ClientRectangle, SystemColors.ControlLightLight, SystemColors.ControlDark, 90, True)
End If
' Paint the GridStrip control's background.
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Me.backgroundBrush, e.AffectedBounds)
End Sub
