ToolStrip Control

[Jay]

How do I setup a ToolStrip with ToolStripButtons to look like Outlook with
the nice gradient.

Thanks

Jay

Searching through the documentation I discovered the material on rendering
which will do the gradients.

I put a ToolStrip on my form. Set the LayoutStyle to be
HorizontalStackWithOverflow. The ToolStrip is blue with a nice gradient.
The BackColor is set to "Control".

If I now simply change the backcolor to anything the ToolStrip flattens out.
If I now change the Backcolor back to "Control" it does not return to the
original blue gradient.

What is happening?

I was simply experimenting with trying to change the blue to some other
color but retain the gradient.
