DESCRIPTION
       The QGroupBox widget provides a group box frame with a title.

       A group box provides a frame, a title and a keyboard shortcut, and
       displays various other widgets inside itself. The title is on top, the
       keyboard shortcut moves keyboard focus to one of the group box's child
       widgets, and the child widgets are usually laid out horizontally (or
       vertically) inside the frame.

       The simplest way to use it is to create a group box with the desired
       number of columns (or rows) and orientation, and then just create
       widgets with the group box as parent.

       It is also possible to change the orientation() and number of columns()
       after construction, or to ignore all the automatic layout support and
       manage the layout yourself. You can add 'empty' spaces to the group box
       with addSpace().

       QGroupBox also lets you set the title() (normally set in the
       constructor) and the title's alignment().

       You can change the spacing used by the group box with setInsideMargin()
       and setInsideSpacing(). To minimize space consumption, you can remove
       the right, left and bottom edges of the frame with setFlat().

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
QGroupBox::QGroupBox ( QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
       Constructs a group box widget with no title.

       The parent and name arguments are passed to the QWidget constructor.

       This constructor does not do automatic layout.

QGroupBox::QGroupBox ( const QString & title, QWidget * parent = 0, const char
       * name = 0 )
       Constructs a group box with the title title.

       The parent and name arguments are passed to the QWidget constructor.

       This constructor does not do automatic layout.

QGroupBox::QGroupBox ( int strips, Orientation orientation, QWidget * parent =
       0, const char * name = 0 )
       Constructs a group box with no title. Child widgets will be arranged in
       strips rows or columns (depending on orientation).

       The parent and name arguments are passed to the QWidget constructor.

QGroupBox::QGroupBox ( int strips, Orientation orientation, const QString &
       title, QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
       Constructs a group box titled title. Child widgets will be arranged in
       strips rows or columns (depending on orientation).

       The parent and name arguments are passed to the QWidget constructor.

QGroupBox::~QGroupBox ()
       Destroys the group box.

void QGroupBox::addSpace ( int size )
       Adds an empty cell at the next free position. If size is greater than
       0, the empty cell takes size to be its fixed width (if orientation() is
       Horizontal) or height (if orientation() is Vertical).

       Use this method to separate the widgets in the group box or to skip the
       next free cell. For performance reasons, call this method after calling
       setColumnLayout() or by changing the QGroupBox::columns or
       QGroupBox::orientation properties. It is generally a good idea to call
       these methods first (if needed at all), and insert the widgets and
       spaces afterwards.

int QGroupBox::alignment () const
       Returns the alignment of the group box title. See the "alignment"
       property for details.

int QGroupBox::columns () const
       Returns the number of columns or rows (depending on
       QGroupBox::orientation) in the group box. See the "columns" property
       for details.

int QGroupBox::insideMargin () const
       Returns the width of the empty space between the items in the group and
       the frame of the group.

       Only applies if the group box has a defined orientation.

       The default is usually 11, by may vary depending on the platform and
       style.

       See also setInsideMargin() and orientation.

int QGroupBox::insideSpacing () const
       Returns the width of the empty space between each of the items in the
       group.

       Only applies if the group box has a defined orientation.

       The default is usually 5, by may vary depending on the platform and
       style.

       See also setInsideSpacing() and orientation.

bool QGroupBox::isCheckable () const
       Returns TRUE if the group box has a checkbox in its title; otherwise
       returns FALSE. See the "checkable" property for details.

bool QGroupBox::isChecked () const
       Returns TRUE if the group box's checkbox is checked; otherwise returns
       FALSE. See the "checked" property for details.

bool QGroupBox::isFlat () const
       Returns TRUE if the group box is painted flat or has a frame; otherwise
       returns FALSE. See the "flat" property for details.

Orientation QGroupBox::orientation () const
       Returns the group box's orientation. See the "orientation" property for
       details.

void QGroupBox::setAlignment ( int ) [virtual]
       Sets the alignment of the group box title. See the "alignment" property
       for details.

void QGroupBox::setCheckable ( bool b )
       Sets whether the group box has a checkbox in its title to b. See the
       "checkable" property for details.

void QGroupBox::setChecked ( bool b ) [slot]
       Sets whether the group box's checkbox is checked to b. See the
       "checked" property for details.

void QGroupBox::setColumnLayout ( int strips, Orientation direction )
       [virtual]
       Changes the layout of the group box. This function is only useful in
       combination with the default constructor that does not take any layout
       information. This function will put all existing children in the new
       layout. It is not good Qt programming style to call this function after
       children have been inserted. Sets the number of columns or rows to be
       strips, depending on direction.

       See also orientation and columns.

       Example: chart/optionsform.cpp.

void QGroupBox::setColumns ( int )
       Sets the number of columns or rows (depending on
       QGroupBox::orientation) in the group box. See the "columns" property
       for details.

void QGroupBox::setFlat ( bool b )
       Sets whether the group box is painted flat or has a frame to b. See the
       "flat" property for details.

void QGroupBox::setInsideMargin ( int m )
       Sets the the width of the inside margin to m pixels.

       See also insideMargin().

void QGroupBox::setInsideSpacing ( int s )
       Sets the width of the empty space between each of the items in the
       group to s pixels.

       See also insideSpacing().

void QGroupBox::setOrientation ( Orientation )
       Sets the group box's orientation. See the "orientation" property for
       details.

void QGroupBox::setTitle ( const QString & ) [virtual]
       Sets the group box title text. See the "title" property for details.

QString QGroupBox::title () const
       Returns the group box title text. See the "title" property for details.

void QGroupBox::toggled ( bool on ) [signal]
       If the group box has a check box (see isCheckable()) this signal is
       emitted when the check box is toggled. on is TRUE if the check box is
       checked; otherwise it is FALSE.

   Property Documentation
Alignment alignment
       This property holds the alignment of the group box title.

       The title is always placed on the upper frame line. The horizontal
       alignment can be specified by the alignment parameter.

       The alignment is one of the following flags:

       AlignAuto aligns the title according to the language, usually to the
       left.

       AlignLeft aligns the title text to the left.

       AlignRight aligns the title text to the right.

       AlignHCenter aligns the title text centered.

       The default alignment is AlignAuto.

       See also Qt::AlignmentFlags.

       Set this property's value with setAlignment() and get this property's
       value with alignment().

bool checkable
       This property holds whether the group box has a checkbox in its title.

       If this property is TRUE, the group box has a checkbox. If the checkbox
       is checked (which is the default), the group box's children are
       enabled.

       setCheckable() controls whether or not the group box has a checkbox,
       and isCheckable() controls whether the checkbox is checked or not.

       Set this property's value with setCheckable() and get this property's
       value with isCheckable().

bool checked
       This property holds whether the group box's checkbox is checked.

       If the group box has a check box (see isCheckable()), and the check box
       is checked (see isChecked()), the group box's children are enabled. If
       the checkbox is unchecked the children are disabled.

       Set this property's value with setChecked() and get this property's
       value with isChecked().

int columns
       This property holds the number of columns or rows (depending on
       QGroupBox::orientation) in the group box.

       Usually it is not a good idea to set this property because it is slow
       (it does a complete layout). It is best to set the number of columns
       directly in the constructor.

       Set this property's value with setColumns() and get this property's
       value with columns().

bool flat
       This property holds whether the group box is painted flat or has a
       frame.

       By default a group box has a surrounding frame, with the title being
       placed on the upper frame line. In flat mode the right, left and bottom
       frame lines are omitted, and only the thin line at the top is drawn.

       See also title.

       Set this property's value with setFlat() and get this property's value
       with isFlat().

Orientation orientation
       This property holds the group box's orientation.

       A horizontal group box arranges it's children in columns, while a
       vertical group box arranges them in rows.

       Usually it is not a good idea to set this property because it is slow
       (it does a complete layout). It is better to set the orientation
       directly in the constructor.

       Set this property's value with setOrientation() and get this property's
       value with orientation().

QString title
       This property holds the group box title text.

       The group box title text will have a focus-change keyboard accelerator
       if the title contains &, followed by a letter.

	       g->setTitle( "&User information" );
       This produces "<u>U</u>ser information"; Alt+U moves the keyboard focus
       to the group box.

       There is no default title text.

       Set this property's value with setTitle() and get this property's value
       with title().
