changing toolBar backcolor

Does anyone know how to change the backcolor of a toolbar component.  The BackColor property doesn't seem to be available for this control and i would like to avoid making a custom control or overriding the paint event if i can.

    Josh,

    Thanks for the ideas but instead of taking the shortcut it looks like i will just build my own.  I was hoping there was a nice easy workaround but after some research  it doesn't look like thats the case.  I'm sure that there will be a need for this again inside my company so all is not lost.  Thanks again.

    If your toolbar will be fairly static, why not just use a panel and build your own toolbar   If you need the user to show/hide toolbars, customize, resize, etc., this option is more trouble than its worth though. 

    I don't know of an easy way to change the backcolor, it always inherits from it's parent form.  Here's one kludgy idea ... put your toolbar on a stripped down form with the background color you'd like for your toolbar ... then add the form to a panel on your main form.  Shrink everything down so it looks like a regular toolbar.  Since a toolbar inherits the parent form's backcolor, this might just work.  I didn't try it though, so I'd be curious your results if you do attempt Smile.

    Alternately, you could use a different toolbar (this is one of many available on the net):

    Hope this helps,
