How to: Create a GroupBox
This example shows how to create a GroupBox that has a title and a visible border that encloses its content.
Example
The following example defines a GroupBox control that is titled My Employee Info. The control encloses a TabControl and a Button in a StackPanel. The example sets the Header property to a Label.
<GroupBox Width="300" Height="410">
<GroupBox.Header>
<Label>Employee Data</Label>
</GroupBox.Header>
<StackPanel>
<TabControl Name="myTabControl"
TabStripPlacement="Top"
Margin="0, 0, 0, 10" Height="350"
>
<TabItem Name="PersonalInfo">
<TabItem.Header>_Personal Info</TabItem.Header>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock>Employee</TextBlock>
<TextBlock>Select your name</TextBlock>
<ListBox Name="empName" SelectionChanged="updateSummary">
<ListBoxItem IsSelected="true">Esther</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>George</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Alan</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Eric</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
</StackPanel>
</TabItem>
<TabItem>
<TabItem.Header>_Job Info</TabItem.Header>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock>Select a job</TextBlock>
<ListBox Name ="job" SelectionChanged="updateSummary">
<ListBoxItem IsSelected="true">Programmer</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Tester</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Writer</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Manager</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
</StackPanel>
</TabItem>
<TabItem Name="Skill">
<TabItem.Header>_Skill</TabItem.Header>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock>
Select your strongest skill
</TextBlock>
<ListBox Name="skills" SelectionChanged="updateSummary">
<ListBoxItem IsSelected="true">C#</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Visual Basic</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>.NET</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>JScript</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
</StackPanel>
</TabItem>
<TabItem Name="Summary" >
<TabItem.Header>Su_mmary</TabItem.Header>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Name="emp"/>
<TextBlock Name="ejob"/>
<TextBlock Name="eskill"/>
</StackPanel>
</TabItem>
</TabControl>
<Button Content="Show Summary" Click="goToSummaryTab"/>
</StackPanel>
</GroupBox>
You must also define an event handler on a code-behind page in order to handle the Click event that occurs when a user clicks the Show Summary button.
