Adding a group box to a DataWindow object

To visually enhance the layout of a DataWindow object, you can add a group box. A group box is a static frame used to group and label a set of controls in a DataWindow object. The following example shows two group boxes in a report. The Address group box groups address information and the Phone/Fax group box groups telephone numbers.

The sample screen shows two group boxes. The sample is titled Contact Information. For each name shown at left in a list of contacts, an Address group box to the right groups address information and a Phone / Fax group box at far right groups telephone numbers. At the top of the sample screen is a button labeled: Filter the list of contacts.

To add a group box to a DataWindow object:

Select Insert>Control>Group Box from the menu bar and click in the Design view.
With the group box selected, type the text in the General page of the Properties view to display in the frame.
Move and resize the group box as appropriate.
