Introduction to PowerBuilder
 Groupbox
The GroupBox
control is used to group related objects together, but it is
generally used to group sets of related Radiobuttons together.
When there is no group box in the window, the window behaves as a
group box. That's why, you can select only one RadioButton, no
matter how many Radiobuttons are there on the window.
For example, you
have two questions, one is "Martial Status" and another
is "Sex". In this situation, you need one answer for
each question. If atleast one question is not in a GroupBox, user
can't answer both questions, since he would be able to select
only one option for both questions together. The solution for
this problem would be, either put each set of answers in a group
box separately or put at least one set of answers in a GroupBox.
If you put one set in a GroupBox, window behaves like a GroupBox
for another set of Radiobuttons.
 In version 6.0, this control
supports 'Right to Left' property. |
 Place
a GroupBox on the window and move "Male" and
"Female" Radiobutton into the GroupBox. In this
situation, it is not necessary to display the GroupBox to the
user, since it is for internal purpose. What you could do is,
turn off Visible property. Now, preview the window and
see how it works.
