What order do the ToolStrip Renderer events come in?

Generally its this - background, item background, item foregound effects, toolstrip border.

OnRenderToolStripBackground
OnRender[Label|Button|MenuItem...]Background
OnRenderItemText
OnRenderItemArrow
OnRenderItemImage
OnRenderToolStripBorder

The toolstrip border is painted last, as it's sort of a last chance fixup paint if the items happen to go edge to edge.
