#891 – Changing the Border of a GroupBox

August 23, 2013 2 Comments

You can easily change the border drawn around a GroupBox control by setting its BorderThickness and BorderBrush properties.

<GroupBox Header="Roman Dudes" Margin="10"
          BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="Purple">
    <StackPanel>
        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
            <Image Source="Augustus.jpg" Height="100" Margin="5"/>
            <TextBlock Text="Augustus" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
        </StackPanel>
        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
            <Image Source="Tiberius.jpg" Height="100" Margin="5"/>
            <TextBlock Text="Tiberius" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
        </StackPanel>
        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
            <Image Source="Caligula.jpeg" Height="100" Margin="5"/>
            <TextBlock Text="Caligula" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
        </StackPanel>
    </GroupBox>

    That’s really quite easy. The problem starts if you set the window background also to a different color. Then the border has a nasty white suurounding…
