GroupBox

Represents a Wisej.NET control that displays a frame around a group of controls with an optional caption.

The GroupBox displays a frame around a group of controls with or without a caption. Use a GroupBox to logically group a collection of controls on a form. The GroupBox is a container control that can be used to define groups of controls.

A typical use for a group box is to contain a logical group of RadioButton controls. When you have two group boxes, each containing several radio buttons, each group of buttons is mutually exclusive, setting one option value per group.

You can add controls to the GroupBox using the Add method of the Controls property.

For a full list of properties, methods and events see the API documentation.
