    How can we really group the controls in groupbox

    Hi,
    I want to change a groupbox position on dialog with all button, edit etc. controls on it. And using SetWindowPos API but only groupbox moving, the controls on it is left. How can I move groupbox with all includes in it? How can I really group them? I'm using LCC-win32 compiler("C" and API). Also prefer using Dialog editor, not runtime windows creation.

    Thanks

    I do not know if this will help but Could you move all the controls inside the group box to the new location.

    The only way I can think of is to create the group as a small dlg and create it as a child of the main dlg. Put a frame ctrl or similar on the main dlg and paste the small dlg to here. Use SetWindowLong() (with GWL_WNDPROC) to assign both the same callback.
    Then the whole lot can be moved/resized with SetWindowPos().

    Thanks for all,
    Yes I can do which both you said. But I prefered to do it for example as VB. I suppose there must be a trick...or not? I want to know is it possible as mentioned before.

    Thanks again
