Xp/Normal Group Box by Helios

2005

Well this creates a basic group box, the style parameters specifys wether its a Xp styled one or a normal one, all the colors come from the systemColors so they should look right on all themes. When using it make sure to put the update code in your main loop as this resizes the image and deletes the type if you resize or delete its parent!

You need this in a decals file;

.lib "user32.dll" 
api_GetSysColor% (nIndex%) : "GetSysColor"
