Why can't I use StyleProp on my own component

I'm using TypeScript/Vscode for coding my React Native app. I want code completion on my custom components for style just like React Native's own View component does.

style prop View is defined like this:

style?: StyleProp<ViewStyle>;

When I try it on my own component's props:

type MyViewProps = { style?:StyleProp<ViewStyle> }
class MyView extends Component<MyViewProps>{ ... }

And try to use it the way I use style on a regular view:

<MyView style={{top:-20}}/>

I get the following error:

Type '{ style: { top: number; }; }' is not assignable to type 'IntrinsicAttributes & IntrinsicClassAttributes<Component<Pick<MyViewProps, never>, any, any>> & Readonly<Pick<MyViewProps, never>> & Readonly<...>'.
  Property 'style' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & IntrinsicClassAttributes<Component<Pick<MyViewProps, never>, any, any>> & Readonly<Pick<MyViewProps, never>> & Readonly<...>'.ts(2322)

What am I doing wrong?

(Just for clarification: the style does work perfectly on runtime, it's just the code completion/IntelliSense that I can't get to work)
