## Detailed Description

GroupBox is used to layout a logical group of controls together, within a titled visual frame. GroupBox does not provide a layout of its own, but requires you to position its contents, for instance by creating a RowLayout or a ColumnLayout.

If only a single item is used within a GroupBox, it will resize to fit the implicit size of its contained item. This makes it particularly suitable for use together with layouts.

      GroupBox {
          title: qsTr("Synchronize")
          ColumnLayout {
              anchors.fill: parent
              CheckBox { text: qsTr("E-mail") }
              CheckBox { text: qsTr("Calendar") }
              CheckBox { text: qsTr("Contacts") }
          }
      }

### Checkable GroupBox

Even though GroupBox has no built-in check box, it is straightforward to create a checkable GroupBox by pairing it with a CheckBox.

It is a common pattern to enable or disable the groupbox's children when its check box is toggled on/off, respectively, but the semantics of the check box is left to the application to decide.

      GroupBox {
          label: CheckBox {
              id: checkBox
              checked: true
              text: qsTr("Synchronize")
          }

          ColumnLayout {
              anchors.fill: parent
              enabled: checkBox.checked
              CheckBox { text: qsTr("E-mail") }
              CheckBox { text: qsTr("Calendar") }
              CheckBox { text: qsTr("Contacts") }
          }
      }

Note: Types in the Qt.labs module are not guaranteed to remain compatible in future versions.
