Detailed Description

A widget which group widgets into a frame with a title.

This is typically used in a form to group certain form elements together.

Usage example:

enum Vote { Republican = 1, Democrate = 2, NoVote = 10 };

// use a group box as widget container for 3 radio buttons, with a title
Wt::WGroupBox *container = new Wt::WGroupBox("USA elections vote");

// use a button group to logically group the 3 options
Wt::WButtonGroup *group = new Wt::WButtonGroup(this);

Wt::WRadioButton *button;
button = new Wt::WRadioButton("I voted Republican", container);
new Wt::WBreak(container);
group->addButton(button, Republican);

button = new Wt::WRadioButton("I voted Democrat", container);
new Wt::WBreak(container);
group->addButton(button, Democrate);

button = new Wt::WRadioButton("I didn't vote", container);
new Wt::WBreak(container);
group->addButton(button, NoVote);

group->setCheckedButton(group->button(NoVote));

Like WContainerWidget, WGroupBox is by default displayed as a block.

WGroupBox example

CSS

The widget corresponds to the HTML <fieldset> tag, and the title in a nested <legend> tag. This widget does not provide styling, and can be styled using inline or external CSS as appropriate.

Member Function Documentation

void Wt::WGroupBox::refresh ( )

virtual

Refresh the widget.

The refresh method is invoked when the locale is changed using WApplication::setLocale() or when the user hit the refresh button.

The widget must actualize its contents in response.

Note

This does *not* rerender the widget! Calling refresh() usually does not have any effect (unless you've reimplemented refresh() to attach to it an effect).

Reimplemented from Wt::WWebWidget.
