I have tried and found no way beyond cutting and pasting the controls. For me, this is up there on the frustration level with not being able to refactor a control instance into a class. I've often customised a control instance to a point and then thought, "I could use another one of these ona different window", but there is no way to turn a control instance into a reusable class. (at least not without dumping the window to XML, stripping the bits you don't want, and changing a few things... It's easier to cut and paste the event code)
