Text not repainting on custom textbox

[zalez]

I for the life of me, can not figure out how to get the text to repaint over my background. When the paint event fires, all text disappears.

Imports System.ComponentModel
 
Public Class UserControl1
    Inherits TextBox
    Private pic As Image
    Sub New()
 
        ' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
        InitializeComponent()
 
        ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
        SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, True)
    End Sub
    Protected Overrides Sub OnKeyPress(ByVal e As KeyPressEventArgs)
 
        If Char.IsNumber(e.KeyChar) = False Then
            e.Handled = True
        End If
    End Sub
    Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
 
        MyBase.OnPaint(e)
 
        e.Graphics.DrawImage(pic, 0, 0, 32, 32)
 
    End Sub
    <DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Visible), _
    Description("Select a icon for the textbox."), _
    Browsable(True)> _
    Public Property Picture() As Image
        Get
            Return pic
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Image)
            pic = value
            Me.Invalidate()
        End Set
    End Property
 
End Class

Any help is appreciated.

You are calling the base paint event which draws the text, then you are calling draw image, which will draw over the text. You need to draw the text after you draw your image in the background.

Thanks for your reply Neg. I am not quite following what you are saying. I tried using the OnPaintBackGround override also with the same result. The text types out fine but when I drag the form off screen then back the text disappears. The text will reappear if I arrow back to the beginning of the textbox and start typing again.

From googling I found that a few people mention that BackgroundImages are not supported by a TextBox (even if you draw them manually). I'm not sure if we can use API's or something to get around it...

Not supported as in it will not draw or it just doesn't work right?

It will draw, but the text will not draw properly as you have seen for yourself.
