<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QGroupBox widget provides a group box frame with a title.</p>
<p>A group box provides a frame, a title and a keyboard shortcut, and displays various other widgets inside itself. The title is on top, the keyboard shortcut moves keyboard focus to one of the group box's child widgets.</p>
<p>QGroupBox also lets you set the <a href="qgroupbox.html#title-prop">title</a> (normally set in the constructor) and the title's <a href="qgroupbox.html#alignment-prop">alignment</a>. Group boxes can be <a href="qgroupbox.html#checkable-prop">checkable</a>; child widgets in checkable group boxes are enabled or disabled depending on whether or not the group box is <a href="qgroupbox.html#checked-prop">checked</a>.</p>
<p>You can minimize the space consumption of a group box by enabling the <a href="qgroupbox.html#flat-prop">flat</a> property. In most <a href="qstyle.html">styles</a>, enabling this property results in the removal of the left, right and bottom edges of the frame.</p>
<p>QGroupBox doesn't automatically lay out the child widgets (which are often <a href="qcheckbox.html">QCheckBox</a>es or <a href="qradiobutton.html">QRadioButton</a>s but can be any widgets). The following example shows how we can set up a QGroupBox with a layout:</p>

<p>This property holds the group box title text.</p>
<p>The group box title text will have a keyboard shortcut if the title contains an ampersand ('&') followed by a letter.</p>
<pre class="cpp"> g<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>setTitle(<span class="string">"&User information"</span>);</pre>
<p>In the example above, <b>Alt+U</b> moves the keyboard focus to the group box. See the <a href="qshortcut.html#mnemonic">QShortcut</a> documentation for details (to display an actual ampersand, use '&&').</p>
<p>There is no default title text.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="clicked"></a><span class="type">void</span> QGroupBox::<span class="name">clicked</span> ( <span class="type">bool</span> <i>checked</i> = false )<tt> [signal]</tt></h3>
<p>This signal is emitted when the check box is activated (i.e. pressed down then released while the mouse cursor is inside the button), or when the shortcut key is typed, Notably, this signal is <i>not</i> emitted if you call <a href="qgroupbox.html#checked-prop">setChecked</a>().</p>
<p>If the check box is checked <i>checked</i> is true; it is false if the check box is unchecked.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.</p>
