Group Box

  • Article

A group box is a rectangle that surrounds a set of controls, such as check boxes or radio buttons, and contains an application-defined text (label).

The sole purpose of a group box is to organize controls related by a common purpose, indicated by the label.

The window class name for a group box is "BUTTON".
