Never mind. Found it.

I overwrote the CTOR as such:

public XColumnHeader()
{
}
public Header(ColumnHeaders Parent)
{
    InitializeComponent();
    lblCaption.Left = CAPTION_LABEL_MARGIN;
    lblCaption.Top = CAPTION_LABEL_MARGIN;
}

My call does not pass anything so InitializeComponent() never gets called. Changed it to:

public Header()
{
   Header(null);
}
public XColumnHeader(XColumnHeaders Parent)
{
    InitializeComponent();
    lblCaption.Left = CAPTION_LABEL_MARGIN;
    lblCaption.Top = CAPTION_LABEL_MARGIN;
}

I gotta lay off the fruit juice when I'm coding!!!
