DotNet: IDesigner, Context Menus, and Verbs

• I am trying to create a custom form designer, I am using the following code which works fine.
  
  DesignSurface surface = new DesignSurface(typeof(UserControl));
  ServiceContainer sc = new ServiceContainer(surface);
  Control c = surface.View as Control;
  c.Click += new EventHandler(c_Click);
  
  if (c != null)
  {
  c.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
  this.tabPage1.Controls.Add(c);
  }
  
  Control designer = surface.ComponentContainer.Components[0] as Control;
  designer.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
  designer.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
  IDesignerHost host = (IDesignerHost)sc.GetService(typeof(IDesignerHost));
  
  
  The problem comes I am trying to create verbs which I assume are context menu options. I have a custom control that inherits the textbox, which even though I add verbs does not work in runtime.
  
  IDesigner oIDesigner = host.GetDesigner(oControl);
  oIDesigner.Verbs.Add(new DesignerVerb("Click", new EventHandler(OnClick)));
  
  The OnClick never fires on click nor does it show in a context menu. I can see the control and move it around.
  
  Thanks
