Start by creating a custom form block and work it out from there

Thanks, Eric for your response. I'm looking for how to create custom element not a form container.

A custom form block equals a custom element

You can find information about creating a custom form element block here:

As you're looking for multi-select capabilities, it might be worth having your element inherit from ChoiceElementBlock rather than ValidatableElementBlockBase.
