Given that the strip menu is generally a gradient, I don't think there is a built-in way to give the text box a gradient background. You could probably override the ToolStripTextBox and provide an overridden TextBox where you custom paint the background to a gradient, but it would be tricky to make the gradient match.
How would you do this in .Net? If it's not p/invoke or something, it should probably work. Jon Paul F.
