GroupBox Control
Description
GroupBox controls are used to provide an identifiable grouping for other controls. Typically, you use group boxes to subdivide a form by function. For example, you may have a setup form that specifies robot speed options.. Grouping all options in a group box gives the user a logical visual cue.
Usage
Use the GroupBox control to group together controls for selecting options (using RadioButtons) or setting preferences (using CheckBoxes). You can also group together other controls as well.
First, add a GroupBox control to your form.
Next, either create new controls on the groupbox, or drag existing controls to the groupbox.
Set the Text property of the groupbox to the name of the group.
Setting GroupBox Appearance
Use the BackColor, ForeColor, and Font properties to change the appearance of the picturebox.
