Name

GroupBox

Synopsis

This Control class can contain other controls (like a ContainerControl), but it does not provide scrolling support, instead rendering a label and border around its children, which have been added to the Controls collection.

You can set the FlatStyle for a group box to determine how it will be rendered. Note that you should set the FlatStyle to System if you wish your GroupBox to support Windows XP theming.
