In Windows Forms, GroupBox is a container which contains multiple controls in it and the controls are related to each other. Or in other words, GroupBox is a frame display around a group of controls with a suitable optional title. Or a GroupBox is used to categorize the related controls in a group. In GroupBox, you can set the name of the GroupBox in the form using Name Property. You can set this property in two different ways:
1. Design-Time: It is the easiest way to set the name of the GroupBox as shown in the following steps:
2. Run-Time: It is a little bit trickier than the above method. In this method, you can set the name of the GroupBox programmatically with the help of given syntax:
public string Name { get; set; }
The value of this property is of System.String type and this string represent the name of the GroupBox. The following steps show how to set the name of the GroupBox dynamically:
- Step 1: Create a GroupBox using the GroupBox() constructor is provided by the GroupBox class.
// Creating a GroupBox
GroupBox gbox = new GroupBox();
- Step 2: After creating GroupBox, set the Name property of the GroupBox provided by the GroupBox class.
// Setting the name
gbox.Name = "Mybox";
- Step 3: And last add this GroupBox control to the form and also add other controls on the GroupBox using the following statements:
// Adding groupbox in the form
this.Controls.Add(gbox);
and
// Adding this control to the GroupBox
gbox.Controls.Add(c2);
Example:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowsFormsApp45 {
public partial class Form1 : Form {
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load( object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GroupBox gbox = new GroupBox();
gbox.Location = new Point(179, 145);
gbox.Size = new Size(329, 94);
gbox.Text = "Select Gender" ;
gbox.Name = "Mybox" ;
this .Controls.Add(gbox);
CheckBox c1 = new CheckBox();
c1.Location = new Point(40, 42);
c1.Size = new Size(49, 20);
c1.Text = "Male" ;
gbox.Controls.Add(c1);
CheckBox c2 = new CheckBox();
c2.Location = new Point(183, 39);
c2.Size = new Size(69, 20);
c2.Text = "Female" ;
