Employment/Purpose

A group box is used to group components together. A border is typically drawn around the components to show that they are related. The label across the top of the group box can be created by using the caption component. It works much like the HTML legend element. Unlike windows, a group box is not an owner of the ID space. It cannot be overlapped or popup.

Example

 <groupbox width="250px">
     <caption label="Fruits"/>
     <radiogroup>
         <radio label="Apple"/>
         <radio label="Orange"/>
         <radio label="Banana"/>
     </radiogroup>
 </groupbox>

Supported events

Name	Event Type
onClick	MouseEvent Description: Denotes user has clicked the component.
onRightClick	MouseEvent Description: Denotes user has right-clicked the component.
onDoubleClick	MouseEvent Description: Denotes user has double-clicked the component.
onOpen	OpenEvent Description: Denotes user has opened or closed a component. Note: unlike onClose, this event is only a notification. The client sends this event after opening or closing the component. It is useful to implement load-on-demand by listening to the onOpen event, and creating components when the first time the component is opened.
