For the second question - technically you cannot do this. But you can hack
around it. Here is one possible solution.
var
OldParent :TWinControl; //maybe better if you make this global so you can
rivert later.
begin
OldParent:= GroupBox1.Parent;
GroupBox1.Parent:= OldParent.Parent;
GroupBox1.Left:= GroupBox1.Left + OldParent.Left;
GroupBox1.Top:= GroupBox1.Top + OldParent.Top;
GroupBox1.Enabled:= not OldParent.Enabled;
end;
Cheers
al.
