Customizing Toolstrip buttons & ToolStripButton

Hello,

I want to customize the ToolStripButton. I want to change OnMouseOver shade (yellow to orange) and OnClick & hold shade (orange to yello) of the ToolStripButton.

I can't see any properties devinde for that. Can any one please tell me how to do that? If I need to write my own control for this please give me little idea about how to that too. I'm a newbie here.

If you want to customize a WF control, start here: "Walkthrough: Inheriting from a Windows Forms Control with Visual C# (or Basic)" inyour help files.

Hi,

You can change the backcolor of the toolStripButton when mousehover and mouthclick. And then set the color back to SystemColors.Control.

Post the code for your class that inherits the ToolStripButton.

I used designer to make the form application. So, the code is just the Deisgner generation one. There is no class that inherits from ToolStripButton. I just created instances of ToolStripButton.
