Wow...I see you created that in 2019. I can't believe what I saw...I'd have expected it to work much better than that. VFP has been off-support officially for 4+ years by that time yet the "old girl" still looks better for designers given this obvious shortfall.

You're not missing anything. Visual inheritance in the Windows Forms designer does not work like VFP, Delphi or whatever. It didn't in 2002, and on inspection still doesn't now.
This is how you do it with a UserControl.
