Draw control selection rectangle with resize points in windows forms

I want to draw a rectangle with the resize points for the selected control as shown in the image below.

enter image description here

I made use of the paint event of the control and i was able to draw a border rectangle for the selected control.

 Rectangle borderRectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, this.Width, this.Height);
 ControlPaint.DrawBorder(e.Graphics, borderRectangle, Color.Black,System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBorderStyle.Dotted);

Do we have any option to include the functionality as we have in the windows forms designer?

Please do suggest me a method for the same.

Thanks in Advance,

K
