That article is not about selecting controls at all.

The "Selecting" controls functionality is usually provided by the surface that the controls are on, not the controls themselves.

The controls provide the imagery (handles and border changes) that they are selected if the controls provide a property that lets the design surface tell them they are selected.

Once the controls have that "mode" property set, they can redraw themselves to show they are selected.

@Dave Kreskowiak,
Sir, please explain in detail how to set that "mode" property

Every control you want to have "designable" you're going to have to make you're own version of. This property would be defined in an Interface, then each of your designable controls would have to implement that interface. When the property value changes, you'll have to redraw your control any way you want to denote it's selected.

No, I'm not writing your code for you.
