GroupBox in WPF can only contain one element?

Solution 1:

That sounds right to me. You'd need to put a Grid or Panel (StackPanel, WrapPanel, etc) as a child to define the layout.

Solution 2:

Yes, in WPF the GroupBox will contain maximum of 1 element. You can include Grid as its child and in grid specify your desired components. For example 1 placed two buttons in GroupBox using Grid.

Code is as follow:

<GroupBox
            Header="Read Sensor"
            HorizontalAlignment="Left"
            Margin="485,4,0,0"
            VerticalAlignment="Top"
            Height="188"
            Width="238">
            <Grid
                HorizontalAlignment="Left"
                Height="169"
                Margin="0,0,-13,-3"
                VerticalAlignment="Top"
                Width="229">
                <Button
                    x:Name="btnReadSensor1"
                    Content="Read Sensor 1"
