Question

Is groupBox in WFA in C# usefull for something else than "just saying these components which are inside this groupBox belongs to one group"? Can I for example somehow get any information(get it from the groupBox not from the components inside) what happens inside or similar useful things?

They say, "aside from possibly providing an access key for a group of controls, it provides no functionality". The access key being used most commonly in the Radio Button case.

我喜欢将groupBoxes用于“一次只能选择一个单选按钮”功能。

The typical use for a group box is to contain a logical group of RadioButton controls.If you have two group boxes, each of which contain several option buttons (also known as radio buttons), each group of buttons is mutually exclusive, setting one option value per group. MSDN
