Thanks. Parent of GroupBox is not skinned?

Maybe you can show Dfm file for this form also? (as text)

[Pierrotsc]

I may remove some components before I give you the dfm as it is pretty large.

I have a snotebook.

Inside the snotebook page, I have a devexpress layoutcontrol form to keep the component groupbox centered in the middle of the page.

the snotebook is skinned, so is the groupbox.

Let me try to see what happen without the devexpress layoutcontrol.

I'll get back in a few..

Here, i just created a new form, dropped a groupbox and a panel inside. You can see it in the design that it does not fill the whole groupbox.

here's the text:

object Form1: TForm1

Left = 0

Top = 0

Caption = 'Form1'

ClientHeight = 347

ClientWidth = 535

Color = clBtnFace

Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET

Font.Color = clWindowText

Font.Height = -11

Font.Name = 'Tahoma'

Font.Style = []

OldCreateOrder = False

PixelsPerInch = 96

TextHeight = 13

object sGroupBox1: TsGroupBox

Left = 128

Top = 104

Width = 185

Height = 177

TabOrder = 0

SkinData.SkinSection = 'GROUPBOX'

object sPanel1: TsPanel

Left = 2

Top = 15

Width = 181

Height = 160

Align = alClient

Caption = 'sPanel1'

TabOrder = 0

SkinData.SkinSection = 'PANEL'

ExplicitLeft = 40

ExplicitTop = 88

ExplicitWidth = 185

ExplicitHeight = 41

end

end

object sSkinProvider: TsSkinProvider

AddedTitle.Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET

AddedTitle.Font.Color = clNone

AddedTitle.Font.Height = -11

AddedTitle.Font.Name = 'Tahoma'

AddedTitle.Font.Style = []

DrawNonClientArea = False

SkinData.SkinSection = 'FORM'

TitleButtons =

Left = 136

Top = 40

end

end

Thanks.

You want have a fully transparent groupbox without borders?

[Pierrotsc]

Not really. If i change the skin to checkbox, the groupbox has no border but you can still see its background sticking out on the top of the panel. I do not mind having the groupbox borders, i just want the panel to fill it completely.

Right now, it does not look “Clean”. The border only shows on the top and not on all around.

Do you see what I mean? Can you duplicate it?

Maybe it is intended to be like that 🙂

Yes, it's a normal behavior.

Why you don't want use a Panel instead this GroupBox?

[Pierrotsc]

That is indeed a very good suggestion. I did not think about it. Let me try that. Thanks
