Do a search on this forum and see what you get.


Suggestion: search for "GroupBox Color"

No you can't, but can take TPanel and change its BevelColor-property. It looks better.
Look also for TPanel.BorderSpacing.Around property.

Be careful if you plan to make your project cross-platform. There are themes in Linux in which the groupbox has no border at all...

@ madref, i searched with google and found some Delphi answers which wheren’t what I was hoping for.

@wp, i only use/plan to make my apps for windows. I try to make my working life easier with my hobby apps. And that is windows only (so far).
But thanks for the warning.

@ Sonar, i didn’t tought about using a panel. Thanks for the idea.

Hi!

Yes - use a Panel instead of a Groupbox.

A Panel owns a public (published?) canvas.
And an onPaint event.

With those two things you can design your panel as you like.
With a fuchsia bevel (outsch!)
Or a gradient as background.


The groupbox is bothering limited in their graphic options.
Replace it by a panel.

Or use ATFlatControls and use ATGroups :)
And create something like this
