In a standard GroupBox, how do I make the visible 'border line' not show (it
looks like an etched in line about 5 pixels shy of each border of the group
box)?

Thanks in advance!

AFAIK, you can't; it's an integral part of the control. Why not just use a
regular label (static control)?

Hi Doug,

Can a Label contain other Controls? Can a Label be used to group Radio
Buttons that are associated with each other? I know that GroupBox's can be
used for both of these purposes, and I need for the Control type I'm using
to have both of these qualities. If a Label can do this that would be great!
Can it?

I think you can get the effect you're after in .NET by using a panel
control. (I thought you were talking about the Windows groupbox.)
