Panel Control Question

I am stuck on something that must be simple. However, I have been searching the obvious places for several days but haven't come up with an answer:

I have a Panel control with a custom designer. The designer creates several designer verbs. When a verb is selected, I want to instantiate a new Panel control on the 'base' Panel control, and allow the designer to edit the new Panel control (i.e., add other controls). The designer verbs work fine. However, if I simply use .Add to add a new Panel to the 'base' Panel the newly added Panel shows up on the UserControl but cannot be edited. On the other hand, if I simply drag a Panel control from the Toolbox to the 'base' Panel I can edit it--which is the behavior I want.

The correct way to accomplish so it works this would be much appreciated!
 
Use the GetService method to get the IDesignerHost, then use the
CreateComponent method.

Sorry to be dense, Andrew, but when I took a look at the GetService method IDesignerHost was not one of the options. Could you be a bit more specific? Thanks!
