hi guys.
i have a question here. in the framework2.0. each control has a rendermode
property. we can customerize these control (draw the control ourselves) by
override these render class.
But why we do that instead of directly overriding the control's paint
event( like onpaint and onpaintbackground)? what's the difference between
these two?

cheers

I could only find a RenderMode property on the toolstrip, is it
available on other controls as well?

One example would be that a render style might be contained in an
external .dll or created by a 3rd party. If you wanted the style to be
changeable by the user, you might use this method. If you hard code
the rendering in the OnPaint method, then this would be more difficult
or impossible.
