Group Box
A Group Box is a rectangular set of boundaries which you can add to a Canvas. You can for instance use it as a border for a text area. Once you have dragged the Group Box onto your canvas, select it, right click and choose Edit. A window with three tab sheets will pop up. Fill out the tab sheets as follows:
Tab sheet: Basics
| 1. | Click the Basics tab sheet. |
| 2. | In the Default Label box, type the label for the Group box. |
| 3. | If you want the label to be a picture, click Label Is Picture. |
| 4. | If you want the text to appear in another font, in the Font box, select a font. |
Tab sheet: Colour
| 1. | Click the Colour tab sheet. |
| 2. | In the palette, select a colour. |
| 3. | If the colour is for the text, click Text. If it is for the background of the text, click Background. |
Tab sheet: Position
Please note! Using this tab sheet to set the position is optional. Instead of dragging and resizing, you can use the Position tab sheet to specify relative and absolute positions.

- Relative Position refers to the position on the window, where the maximum left and top side of the window refer to 0, and the maximum right and bottom side of the window refer to 1.
- Offset refers to the amount of pixels from the topleft corner of the window. |
