Group Box

 

The Group Box control is a rectangle that surrounds a set of controls, such as Check Boxes or Radio Buttons, with text in its upper left corner. The sole purpose of a Group Box control is to organize controls related by a common purpose (usually indicated by the text).

Along with text, you can specify font, text color and a background color for the control. The background color applies to the area immediately behind the text in the upper left corner. It does not change the background in the majority of the control.

Tabs in Group Box control

The Group Box control owns all the controls inside of it and it tends to use the tab order of the Group Box. Its best to first set the tab order on each Group Box and the controls that do not live in a Group Box. Then set the tab order within each Group Box.
