DESCRIPTION

A LibUI::Group object represents a control container that adds a label to the contained child control.

This control is a great way of grouping related controls in combination with LibUI::HBox and LibUI::VBox.

A visual box will or will not be drawn around the child control dependent on the underlying OS implementation.

Functions

Not a lot here but... well, it's just a tab box.

new( ... )

    my $grp = LibUI::Group->new( 'Login' );

Creates a new LibUI::Group.

margined( )

    if( $grp->margined( ) ) {
        ...;
    }

Returns whether or not the group has a margin.

setMargined( ... )

    $grp->setMargined( 1 );

The margin size is determined by the OS defaults.

Expected parameters include:
