Perhaps this is obvious, but when I start using tab controls it wasn't for
me.

Are you handling the tab control properly? Tabs and panes operates
independently, and when you click on a tab you must set the viewed pane by
code (it's the only way). So, you will need to install an EventHandler
targeting the tab control, so, when the user clicks on a tab, you must show
the correct pane and hide the others. After you show the pane that have your
custom control it's a grate moment to redraw it if you need to.
