groupbox

I didn't find any solution that helped me on the older questions on SO... Is it possible to make them thicker or just more visible by changing the color? If yes, some code would be great... or just a hint how to do it... You'll need to make a custom GroupBox control. See The Grouper - A Custom Groupbox Control GroupBox is a custom drawn .Net control. You will need to hook into the Paint event, or derive from the GroupBox and override the OnPaint method, determine where the existing lines are being drawn and then draw overtop of them with wider lines to achieve the thicker border. Or you can

I'm experimenting with the Win32 API in C++, specifically with writing resource files. Now, my entire project was working just fine, menus and titles and everything. However, when I add this code for a modal dialog box to the .rc file: IDD_ABOUT DIALOG DISCARDABLE 0, 0, 239, 66 STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU CAPTION "My About Box" FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif" BEGIN DEFPUSHBUTTON "&OK",IDOK,174,18,50,14 PUSHBUTTON "&Cancel",IDCANCEL,174,35,50,14 GROUPBOX "About this program...",IDC_STATIC,7,7,225,52 CTEXT "An example program showing how to use Dialog Boxes\r\n\r\nby

I have edited the standard GroupBox template as I wanted to customize it. Apart from other customizations, I wanted the GroupBox header to be Horizantally aligned in the Center instead of Left or Right. The alignment of the Header is not a problem however, the real problem is the OpacityMask defined for the Border controls. The opacity mask sets the transparent space behind the groupbox header where the borders are not drawn. I haven't able to figure it out how to place the transparent space / gap behind the groupbox header when I set the header to the center. Here is how my XAML looks like:

Have a look at this very simple example WPF program: <Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300"> <GroupBox> <GroupBox.Header> <CheckBox Content="Click Here"/> </GroupBox.Header> </GroupBox> </Window> So I have a GroupBox whose header is a CheckBox. We've all done something like this - typically you bind the content of the GroupBox in such a way that it's disabled when the CheckBox is unchecked. However, when I run this application and

is there any method for groupBox to clear all properties of objects inside groupBox. for example clear all textboxes, deselect all checkboxes etc. and set them to default. or i should code one by one to clear them? i want to do this on event listview SelectedIndexChanged. Update: ok thanks for replays, i found that you can select controls inside groupbox very simple. foreach (Control ctrl in groupBox2.Controls)//this will only select controls of groupbox2 { if (ctrl is TextBox) { (ctrl as TextBox).Text = ""; } if (ctrl is CheckBox) { (ctrl as CheckBox).Checked = false; } if (ctrl is ComboBox)

How do you change the text color of a group box in C#? The "documentation" doesn't even mention this, and Googling hasn't turned up an answer. Thanks! Alan Use the ForeColor property. Sample code: using System; using System.Drawing; using System.Windows.Forms; class Test { [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { Form form = new Form(); GroupBox group = new GroupBox(); group.Text = "Text"; group.ForeColor = Color.Red; form.Controls.Add(group); Application.Run(form); } } Actually all the answers posted here changes the forecolor of other controls like button, label etc residing inside the

In C#.NET I am trying to programmatically change the color of the border in a group box. Update: This question was asked when I was working on a winforms system before we switched to .NET. Mick Bruno Building on the previous answer, a better solution that includes the label for the group box: groupBox1.Paint += PaintBorderlessGroupBox; private void PaintBorderlessGroupBox(object sender, PaintEventArgs p) { GroupBox box = (GroupBox)sender; p.Graphics.Clear(SystemColors.Control); p.Graphics.DrawString(box.Text, box.Font, Brushes.Black, 0, 0); } You might want to adjust the x/y for the text, but
