Way to create a Group box constructor Visual Studio? (Rookie question)

Question

I created a group box with everything I want in place (see image) - Now is there a way(I.E. - menu option) to create a constructor for this? Looking for something similar to this(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.groupbox.-ctor?view=netframework-4.7.2). The only difference is that I pre made my group box so that I could visualize it, now I need a constructor for it so that I can create it into an array. I hope this makes sense to you guys - I am new to Visual Studios(Dumbed down answers are appreciated). Thank you.

If you look at the Designer file for your form (it's listed in the Solution Explorer window), you will see the code-generated for your groupbox, and any other controls on the form. It will look something like this:

private void InitializeComponent()
{
    this.groupBox1 = new System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox();
    this.SuspendLayout();
    // 
    // groupBox1
    // 
    this.groupBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(76, 28);
    this.groupBox1.Name = "groupBox1";
    this.groupBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(200, 100);
    this.groupBox1.TabIndex = 0;
    this.groupBox1.TabStop = false;
    this.groupBox1.Text = "groupBox1";
    // 
    // Form1
    // 
    this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
    this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
    this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(284, 261);
    this.Controls.Add(this.groupBox1);
    this.Name = "Form1";
    this.Text = "Form1";
    this.ResumeLayout(false);

}
