# GroupBox Styles and Templates
<a name="introduction"></a> This topic describes the styles and templates for the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.GroupBox> control. You can modify the default <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ControlTemplate> to give the control a unique appearance. For more information, see [Create a template for a control](/dotnet/desktop-wpf/themes/how-to-create-apply-template).
<a name="groupbox_parts"></a>
## GroupBox Parts
The <xref:System.Windows.Controls.GroupBox> control does not have any named parts.
<a name="groupbox_states"></a>
## GroupBox States
The following table lists the visual states for the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.GroupBox> control.
|VisualState Name|VisualStateGroup Name|Description|
|-|-|-|
|Valid|ValidationStates|The control uses the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Validation> class and the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Validation.HasError%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> attached property is `false`.|
|InvalidFocused|ValidationStates|The <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Validation.HasError%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> attached property is `true` has the control has focus.|
|InvalidUnfocused|ValidationStates|The <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Validation.HasError%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> attached property is `true` has the control does not have focus.|
