Chris is right, there is no difference between the two GroupBoxes
except that one has some text set and a different background colour. I
think he is also right in that we added the "static text version" to
actually show that a text label was possible. In retrospect, we should
probably have just added some text to the default view.
I also don't see any rendering problems when I just add the default
version of either group box to a shell view. Do you have an XP theme
set?
Best regards,
