If I have the HWND of a top-level window, how can I create another identical window?

The reason for this is the same reason as you would create multiple instances of a TForm-derived dialog, although in this case I only have the HWND to work from.

I suppose I could create a new window with CreateWindowEx, and then recursively go through all of its child windows doing the same. But before I reinvent the wheel I would like to know if anybody has done this before.
