I cant see any obvious way, and there is also no Paint or Draw event to override.
One solution is to create a custom control consisting of a panel with a textbox inside it, docked full, with the panel having a dockpadding of 2 for all sides. Then simply set the panels backcolor to get the desired effect

...if it works dont f*** with it
...if its f****ed blame someone else
...if its your fault that its f***ed, say and admit nothing.

Another method you could try is using the form paint event to draw a rectangle around the textbox.
It acts as more of a highlight rather than a border color as the original black still shows but still looks OK for a workaround.

Code:
Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
Dim p As New Pen(Color.Red, 2)
g.DrawRectangle(p, TextBox1.Left, TextBox1.Top, TextBox1.Width, TextBox1.Height)
End Sub- Thread starter
