UXGroupBox

UXGroupBox is a titled frame, the ST-dialog way of showing that controls belong together. It is pure decoration. It draws a rule around its bounds with the title breaking the top edge, and the grouped controls sit on top of it as siblings on the canvas. The box does not contain or lay out anything, so grouping adds no hierarchy.

#use <UXKit>

Overview

UXGroupBox* box = new UXGroupBox();
box.setTitle((u8*)"Format");
content.addSubview(box,    UXGeom.make(8,  8, 160, 90));
content.addSubview(bold,   UXGeom.make(20, 30, 120, 20));   // siblings ON the box
content.addSubview(italic, UXGeom.make(20, 56, 120, 20));

Add the box before the controls it frames. Later siblings draw on top, which is the stacking a decoration needs.

setTitle

void setTitle(u8* t)

The text that breaks the top rule. This is the whole API. A group box that needed more would be a container, and this class is not one.
