Using XAML GroupBox in WPF

The GroupBox element in XAML is used to add a header to an area and within that area you can place controls. By default, a GroupBox can have one child but multiple child controls can be added by placing a container control on a GroupBox such as a Grid or StackPanel.

How to create a GroupBox in WPF

The GroupBox element in XAML represents a GroupBox control. The following code snippet creates a GroupBox control and sets its background and font. The code also sets the header using GroupBox.Header.

<Window x:Class="GroupBoxSample.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
    <Grid>
        <GroupBox Margin="10,10,10,10" FontSize="16" FontWeight="Bold"
                  Background="LightGray">
            <GroupBox.Header>
               Mindcracker Network
            </GroupBox.Header>

            <TextBlock FontSize="12" FontWeight="Regular">
                This is a group box control content.
            </TextBlock>

        </GroupBox>

    </Grid>
</Window>

The output looks like this.
