Best way around a control that doesn't support visual inheritance in .net

Hi Everyone,
I am a little new to this, so I hope what I post is readable, and easy to understand. I was trying to work with the tableLayoutPanel in Visual Studio and I noticed here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171689(v=vs.80).aspx[^] that the tableLayout panel doesn't support visual inheritance. I notice when I call the Invalidate method from a derived class that it works when I set a breakpoint, but otherwise, the CellPaint() method doesn't seem to work. I also try calling the method directly as you can see below. I don't get any compile errors. What do you think might be the best way around this? Threading maybe?

Sub Evaluator()
       Dim Input As Int16
       Dim o As Windows.Forms.TableLayoutCellPaintEventArgs
       'Dim caller as Form1.PanelPanter(AddressOf Form1.TableLayoutPanel1_CellPaint)
       'The following just needs to be explored here:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/system.windows.forms.painteventargs(v=vs.100).aspx
       Input = Assigner(Form1.i)
       Dim g As Graphics
       g = Form1.Panel1.CreateGraphics
       Dim Rectang As Rectangle
       Dim Tangrec As Rectangle
       Dim Coller As Integer
       Dim Rower As Integer
       o = New Windows.Forms.TableLayoutCellPaintEventArgs(g, Rectang, Tangrec, _
       Coller, Rower)
       If -1 < Divy And Divy < Form1.i Then
           Form1.Div = Input
           Form1.TextBox3.Clear()
           AdjustTable()
           'Trying to Invalidate
           Form1.Panel1.Invalidate(True)
           'Trying to call CellPaint() directly
           Form1.TableLayoutPanel1_CellPaint(Me, o)
       ElseIf Divy < 0 Then

           'call the code that shows the over use of vacume
       ElseIf Form1.i <= Divy Then
           'call the code showing the overspill of chemicals.
       End If
       If Done = True Then

       End If

   End Sub

Please let me know if I can make anything more clear. Thanks for your help!
