A group box is a second level header that typically appears inside a category box. Like the category box, it is designed to match the look and feel of standard Encompass360 forms. When you add controls to a group box they are automatically associated with each other. If you reposition the group box, all of the controls move with it. |

Control |

ControlID |
Used to identify the control. For example, the first group box on the form will be assigned the control ID GroupBox1 while the next group box is assigned GroupBox2. You can change the control ID as needed. The ID can contain numerals or letters, but it must begin with a letter. |

Layout |
|
|
Layout |
Determines the location of the control on the form, relative to other controls (Flow) or in an absolute X and Y location (Positioned). The Flow option is most often used with category box or group box controls. For example, if the Layout of two controls is set to Flow, the first control is placed at the top-left of the form and the second is placed directly to the right or below it. If you increase or decrease the size of the control, the second control automatically moves to maintain its position next to the first. (Flow is similar to traditional HTML page layouts.) |
|
Position |
Controls the relative position (in pixels) of the group box on the form. The X value determines left to right, the Y value determines top to bottom position. Click the Position property and type values or expand the row to view the X and Y properties and make your changes. |
|
Size |
Controls the width and height of the group box (in pixels). Click the Size property and type values or expand the row to view the Width and Height properties and make your changes. |
