tasks

To place controls inside a groupbox it is not necessary to make the controls a child window of the groupbox control. A groupbox does not redraw it's interior so controls can be placed inside it.

methods

create(Parent, X, Y, Width, Height, Output)

func Create a groupbox control at a specified position with the specified dimensions. Because a control is a child window a parent window must always be specified. The coordinates X, Y, Width and Height determine the dimensions, in window coordinates, of the control.
pre The variable Parent must refer to a parent window. The X, Y, Width and Height coordinates must specify a position and dimension for the control.
post If the control was successfully created then true is assigned to Output, else it will contain false.
