Well Brian, TIMTOW :p Not that every way is clean, neat and easily objectified (thought I haven't looked into groupbox'ing myself ouside of Johan's GUI-Loft, which I suggest you have a look at [http://www.bahnhof.se/~johanl/perl/Loft/]) so I can't be perfectly sure that such a way is currently in widespread use. Jason P.

Thanks again. I was able to come up with something by simply creating the group box with no text with the example I provided then positioning the radio button on top. This gives me what I need but it's probably not the best way to accomplish it.

What I'm looking to create is a page similar to the tcp/ip properties dialog which has 2 radio buttons. The second button has a group box around it wich when checked enables other controls. I was able to create the visual element by: my $btnStatic = $main_window->AddButton( -name => "btnStatic", -pos => [30,130], -text => "Use the following IP Address:", -pushstyle => WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | 7, # GroupBox ); This gives me the visual element but using -pushstyle with AddRadioButton causes the radio button to disappear altogether.

Another unrelated question .... is there a package to create a 3D type border around a control to visually group off some controls. Brian
