Function Reference

GUICtrlCreateGroup

Creates a Group control for the GUI.

GUICtrlCreateGroup ( "text", left, top [, width [, height [, style [, exStyle]]]] )

 

Parameters

text The text of the control.
left The left side of the control. If -1 is used then left will be computed according to GUICoordMode.
top The top of the control. If -1 is used then top will be computed according to GUICoordMode.
width [optional] The width of the control (default is the previously used width).
height [optional] The height of the control (default is the previously used height).
style [optional] Defines the style of the control. See GUI Control Styles Appendix.
exStyle [optional] Defines the extended style of the control. See Extended Style Table.

 

Return Value

Success: Returns the identifier (controlID) of the new control.
Failure: Returns 0.

 

Remarks

A group control is the thin line you see around controls (usually only Radio button) that visually groups them together. Only one Radio button within a Group can be selected at once.
If you want to have multiple groups without the visible line then you must use GUIStartGroup() to group your Radio buttons.
