Hello ,

  I have the controls like lable, textbox  in my form.  I want to give the good look and feel to my form.

 So what i want is. I would like to put one border around all the Fields(controls), like box kind of thing.

 How can i do it.

For example:-

1) I have personal details of employee with the fields, firstname --> Text box, Last name --> text box, Date of birth--> text box in a form.

2)Employee details of the employee with the fields, Emp ID-->Text box, Date of joining--> text box in a same form.

3)Now what i want is , i want to differentiate the fields, by putting in to one border(box) around the fields. Like all the fields of Personal details of the employee in to one box and All the fields of the employee details in to one box(border) for good look and feel.

Please any one help me soon.

Thanks,

Dhivya. L

1. add new HTML field
2. change it type "Group Box"
3. assign some name

Go to your text field

1. open "Field Border" tab
2. in Container name write name of the group
3. in Field Physical tab change "Positioning" to relative
4. and change x and y to 0 and 0

notice: if you want to put all fields be in line and not in column, change in group box orientation to Horizontal in Field type

Hello Zahar chernov,

   Thanks for your reply.

   Its worked well.  But what i want exactly is,

               Is there any possibilities to display some border kind of thing around all the fields in a group ?

Group is ok, now all the fields i can keep under one group and differentiate. But In look wise how i can differentiate like box(Square box). Is there any css needs to be done in a group itself?

Could you please get back to me.

Thanks,

Dhivya. L

I'm not sure i understand what you mean. Do you want group in group? Can you upload some example of what you want?

So your solutions is the same. In "Container" of internal group write the name of external
