OnPaint is not called in subclassed button control

[Guest]

Hello all.

I have created a control that subclasses Windows.Forms.Button.

I need to override the OnPaint method, in order to draw an image instead of
text. However, my OnPaint override is never called!

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint (e);

if (m_oImage != null)
{
//Code that pains Image ...
}
}

Any clues;

PS : I do not want to use OpenNetCF ButtonEx. I just need to add image
painting on the button and not all the other functionality ButtonEx provides.
