I did do this back in the VB5 days and it was a proper pain. From memory I couldn't get the listbox window to draw outside of it's hosting window (needed for controls at the bottom of a window) and allow moving of the hosting window at the same time.

In the end I think I cheated and drew the list box on the parent with an option to go up or down depending on it's relative position.

Certainly was complicated.

Not really a cheat. Context menus already do that. Try opening a context menu near the bottom of your browser window.
