Groupboxes
A groupbox is a rectangle with a caption at its upper left. Groupboxes can be
used for the visual grouping of related parts of a form.
To insert a label or a groupbox invoke the Object > New Forms Object > Label
or the Object > New Forms Object > Groupbox command. Then use the mouse
to draw a rectangle in the document to represent the desired position and size of the
object.
Usage of labels and groupboxes
In contrast to all other types of forms objects, labels and groupboxes cannot be
filled in. They can be used only to add (non-editable) captions or legends to the
form.
Changing the properties of labels and groupboxes
To modify the properties of a label or a groupbox, first select it with a mouse click.
Then invoke the Object > Properties command.
A dialog window with the following options will appear:
