Purpose

A group box is a labeled rectangular frame that surrounds a set of related controls. A group box is a way to show relationships visually; it provides no additional functionality.

Example

Guidelines

Is this the right control

Always use a group box to arrange related controls.

Behavior

Do not nest grouping elements; use layout to show relationships within a group.
Do not place controls in group box’ caption.
Do not disable groups. To indicate that a group of controls doesn't currently apply, disable all the controls within the group, but not the group itself.
Put a splitter between aligned grouping controls.

Appearance

Label the group box with a descriptive caption.
Do not assign an access key to the group box’ caption.
