Help on Custom Control

I was playing around with making a custom control very similar to the
standard ComboBox: a TextBox combined with a ListBox.

After trying it out, I ran into the following problem: When drawing my
custom control at DesignTime, I need to size it so that I give enough room
for both the text and list boxes. But the standard ComboBox has the List
portion pop up outside of the "size" of the control, overtop of existing
controls.

How can I get my ListBox to appear outside the boundaries of the custom
control set by the size parameter?
