[A View of a FramedBox Widget]

View Class: FramedBox
Spec Class: FramedBoxSpec

The FramedBox Widget is used to group other widgets, with a labeled (3D) edge around. It is most often used in configuration dialogs to surround related settings. In contrast to the panel widgets, it does not impose a layout on its children. If required, put a panel inside a framed box.
