Adding Groups to a Component Dialog Box

Groups are static information elements that provide visual organization in a component dialog box. Because groups are typically the largest elements added to a component dialog box, you should add them first.

Follow this procedure to add a group to a component dialog box:

  1. Select Controls > Group from the Component Dialog Wizard menu bar.
    • You can also click Add Group on the Component Dialog Wizard standard toolbar.
  1. Click the component dialog box to place the new group.
  2. Drag the group to its desired location in the component dialog box.
  3. Right-click a group border. The Properties dialog box opens.
  4. Edit the group name in the Name field on the Group Data tab.
  5. Click OK.

Several completed groups are shown in the following illustration:
