Solution 2

You can't. Not directly.
What you need to do is add a button to the right of the text box and associate an icon to the button.

Or you could migrate your code to WPF where you can use styles and templates to change the look and feel of any control.

Solution 3

Go for extending the TextBox, you can paint the image to the left or right of the textBox in the paint event. You may have to handle the layout. Take a look at the custom controls category.
