Well you can sort of...

If you make your widget a usercontrol you can have in your code

if me.DesignMode = True then
    do redraw code for size here depending on form limits.
else
    do your runtime code here.
end if

Not sure if this type of thing is what you are asking for, but maybe this will help.
