You would need to create your own textbox and handle the drawing yourself.

If you know making custom controls. You can do that extending the text-box. Else search this site for making custom controls.

Here's a solution, you just have a problem the font setting loses I think

C#

int borderWidth = 1;
ControlPaint.DrawBorder(e.Graphics,
                      e.ClipRectangle,         Color.Green, borderWidth, 
                      ButtonBorderStyle.Solid, Color.Red, borderWidth,
                      ButtonBorderStyle.Solid, Color.Blue, borderWidth,
                      ButtonBorderStyle.Solid, Color.Yellow, borderWidth, 
                      ButtonBorderStyle.Solid); 
base.OnPaint(e);
