So I am designing a control with a window s form. I want to group some controls together with a caption. So naturally I would go with a GroupBox. However is there some advantage in using a panel instead? Something not immediatly obvious to one who is still a little green with form design? How about some "gotchas" as well.

The GroupBox displays a frame around a group of controls with or without a caption. Use a GroupBox to logically group a collection of controls on a form. The group box is a container control that can be used to define groups of controls.
The GroupBox control is similar to the Panel control; however, only the GroupBox control displays a caption, and only the Panel control can have scroll bars.
You can use a group box or a frame control to group related controls (such as option buttons, check boxes, or closely related contents) into one visual unit. Group boxes and frame controls are rectangular objects with optional labels. Use a group box or a frame control to visually organize related items on a form.
