# GroupBox.Avalonia

Another attempt to recreate the GroupBox control for AvaloniaUI.

Based on @derekantrican's Classic and Modern GroupBox examples at [[GroupBox] Missing · Issue #823 · AvaloniaUI/Avalonia](https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/issues/823#issuecomment-692270581).

When this library is production-ready, its themes/styles _may_ be pull-requested to teast/Avalonia.GroupBox. Otherwise, someone else will need to maintain this project.

# Known Issues

- Sample app re-distributes the checkbox labels...weirdly.

# Usage

1. Add the package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/BinToss.GroupBox.Avalonia/

```sh

dotnet add package BinToss.GroupBox.Avalonia

```

2. In an AXAML/XAML file, add the following xmlns statement: `xmlns:gb="using:GroupBox.Avalonia.Controls"`. I used `ctrl` in the sample project, but other projects should use `gb`.

   https://github.com/BinToss/GroupBox.Avalonia/blob/5515704496a0103200733b788bcfcad1c1ce5ea1/GroupBox.Avalonia.Sample/Views/MainView.axaml#L1-L5

3. Add a basic GroupBox via ``

   https://github.com/BinToss/GroupBox.Avalonia/blob/5515704496a0103200733b788bcfcad1c1ce5ea1/GroupBox.Avalonia.Sample/Views/MainView.axaml#L25-L31

   For its contents, you should use a `Panel`-based `Control` such as `Grid` or `StackPanel`. It's a *Group*Box, after all.

4. (Optional) To use the "classic" theme replicating Windows' classic GroupBox, use `Theme="{StaticResource GroupBoxClassic}"`
