This method could work, of course.

But the component will consume space in the control at design time, and 
it also will be part of the Controls array at runtime - requiring 
according checks while a layout is recalculated. And it shares other 
possible flaws with separate layout managers, e.g. the chance for 
multiple managers assigned to the same control, and/or additional links 
between control and manager.
