Description

TDBGroupBox is a TCustomGroupBox descendant which implements a data-aware container for visual controls. A typical use case would involve using a database table where records contain one field which defines the group box caption, while other fields provide the values for additional data-aware controls.

Like other data-aware controls, TDBGroupBox contains both a DataSource and a DataField property which provides access to the linked dataset and the field with the caption for the control.
