Grouping Controls

Sometimes, you want a set of controls to be taken as a whole by the user. The classic example is when you want the user to select one item from a list of items, and this situation is typically resolved by creating a radio button for each option and then grouping them so that the user can select only one at a time.

To provide the user with a visual cue that the controls are grouped, you can place a group box around the controls. Use the Title property for the group box to label the group on the form.

If you want to create more space on a form or only display controls when needed, you can apply the Collapsable property. When the Collapsable property has been applied to the group box a title bar will appear. Clicking on the title bar will expand / collapse the group box. Once the Collapsable property is applied you can also use the Expand Group Box and Collapse Group Box Control System Functions within Event Rules. You can place a collapsable group box next to another (parallel) as long as the group box property Position -Top is the same value for both.
