Hi, I'm developing a custom tabControl and could not intercept the
onPaint/onPaintBackground events in the inherited class. Is there anything
I'm missing here?

Here's the code:

Public Class myTabCtl
   Inherits System.Windows.Forms.TabControl

   Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
       MyBase.OnPaint(e)

       Dim a As String = "a"

   End Sub
End Class

And the instance is declared in the form's class as: Friend WithEvents
myTabControl as New myTabCtl

I just put a breakpoint in the line that declares the string and, in
runtime, never got there.

Thanks a lot,
Regards
