winforms custom-control event-handling csharp

I need some guidance on I'm converting an old project and I'm developing a WinForms application using .NET 5 and have created a custom button control that changes size based on its content... However, after resizing the button, the click event doesn't seem to trigger anymore. Here's the code for my custom button control: ```csharp public class ResizableButton : Button { protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs pevent) { base.OnPaint(pevent); // Custom drawing logic goes here. } protected override void OnResize(EventArgs e) { base.OnResize(e); // Logic to adjust sizes or states, if needed. } } ``` In my main form, I'm utilizing this button like so: ```csharp private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { ResizableButton myButton = new ResizableButton(); myButton.Text = "Click Me"; myButton.Size = new Size(100, 50); myButton.Click += MyButton_Click; this.Controls.Add(myButton); } private void MyButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show("Button Clicked!"); } ``` When I run the application, the button works fine initially. However, if I change its size programmatically or due to text change, it stops responding to click events. I have tried overriding both `OnResize` and `OnPaint`, but nothing seems to help. The button is still visible and enabled, but the click event handler is never invoked after resizing. Is there something I might be missing regarding event handling in custom controls? Any insights on how to ensure that the click event is triggered even after resizing the button would be greatly appreciated! I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 using the latest version of Csharp. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
