Folks,

I have built a heavily customizable GroupBox .NET control for the WinForms.

Its quite a treat, visually speaking. You will all love it ;)

The control boasts several features, including the following broadly speaking…

• Customizable border colour and styles (including dotted border)
• Customizable border thickness
• Customize separate font for Header text and the rest of the groupbox control
• Draw the Group-box background with either Linear gradient brush or a solid brush, with colours that you can choose
• Draw the Groupbox's Header text area with border and a background, with header section border thickness and colour customizable as well
• Customize the left and right margin around the group-box header text
• Customize the padding for the group-box border
• Choose between drawing the group-box border to any location in the control - i.e. left aligned or right-aligned, or even centre-aligned

Product details

There is lots more. Check it out from the product page here:
