Pictures not possible in Groupbox

Post by mikKummerfeld »

Hey Guys,

it is not possible to show pictures in a groupbox. They are always in the background.
I tried to put the pictures to foreground and groupbox to background. It does not work.

So I placed them left next to the groupbox but it dont look nice :)

Do you have an idea ?

Red flag of sorts from me as well. I couldn't find any way of placing an image on the groupbox either. I also tried using a panel control as well. Same effect. I couldn't send the panel back or bring the image forward.

I suppose you could do it by drawing a frame of lines on the dialog and then use a label as the "groupbox" caption. Not a nice solution by any means. :(

Dear Users,

unfortunately it is not possible ... probably the workaround suggested it is not very nice, but of course it is the only that could work.

Sorry Guys this is not an option for me, because my setup is in different languages
and lines(shapes) are not dynamic in width/height. so the line is sometimes in the text, when the text is larger.

example:

english : System Requirements General
german: Systemvoraussetzungen Allgemein

In the German case the line would be into "mein".

We also have a modern designtool and IA is the only one of the WORLD who are not able to set an image into a groupbox...
