I like the ToolStripProfessionalRenderer style quite a lot, but I do not like the way it renders a ToolStripTextBox. Here, ToolStripSystemRenderer does a better job IMO. Now is there a way to combine both renderers' behaviour to use system style for text boxes and pro style for everything else? I have successfully managed to use pro style for buttons and system style for the rest (by deriving both classes). But text boxes in a ToolStrip don't seem to be handled by the renderer. Using .NET Reflector, those text boxes don't even seem to have a Paint event handler, although it's called by the ToolStrip.OnPaint method. I'm wondering where's the code to paint such a text box at all and how it can be configured to draw a text box like all other text boxes.
