#ENDBOXED

#BOXED	Creates a group box of prompts.
string	A string constant containing the text to display as the group box caption.
AT	Specifies the position of the group in the window, relative to the first prompt placed on the window from the Template (excluding the standard prompts on every procedure properties window). This attribute takes the same parameters as the Clarion language AT attribute.
WHERE	Specifies the #BOXED is visible only for those instances where the expression is true.
expression	An expression that specifies the condition for use.
CLEAR	Specifies the prompts symbol values are cleared when disabled.
HIDE	Specifies the prompts are hidden if the WHERE expression is false when the dialog is first displayed. If no WHERE attribute is present, prompts are always hidden.
SECTION	Specifies all AT() attributes for the prompts are positioned relative to the start of the #BOXED section.
prompts	One or more #PROMPT statements. This may also contain #DISPLAY, #VALIDATE, #ENABLE, #PREPARE, and #BUTTON statements.
#ENDBOXED	Terminates the group box of prompts.

The #BOXED statement creates a group box displaying the string as its caption. If the WHERE attribute is present, the prompts are hidden or visible based upon the evaluation of the expression. If the expression is true, the prompts are visible, otherwise they are hidden.

Example:

#PROMPT('Pick One',OPTION),%InputChoice #!These prompts on second page

#PROMPT('Choice One',RADIO)

#PROMPT('Choice Two',RADIO)

#BOXED('Choice Two Options'),WHERE(%InputChoice = 'Choice Two')

#PROMPT('Screen Field',CONTROL),%SomeField

#VALIDATE(%ScreenFieldType = 'LIST','Must select a list box')

#ENDBOXED
