A group box is a strong visual means of indicating that items are related.
- Use a noun or a noun phrase for group-box labels. Do not use ending punctuation. Keep group-box label text brief (one or two words). Do not use instructional text as the label.
- Use sentence caps, and use parallel construction for group-box labels within the same surface.
- Do not repeat the group-box label in control labels within the box. For example, if the group box is labeled Alignment, label the option buttons Left, Right, and so on, not Left alignment or Right alignment.
- Usually, refer to controls within the group box as you would if they were not in the box. Do not refer to groups boxes in UI text.
