ComboBoxRenderer.DrawTextBox doesn't look right when disabled

I am making a user-control version of a ComboBox and using the ComboBoxRenderer to draw the buttons and such. I am also using it to draw the background of the control. When my control is disabled, I draw usingVisualStyles.TextBoxState.Disabled. The problem is that the colors don't match the colors used when an normal combobox is disabled. Anyone have any ideas?

Hard to tell. ComboBoxRenderer doesn't render anything resembling a combobox on Vista. The VisualStyles namespace wasn't updated for Vista, not sure if it's a good idea to use it right now...
