A rectangle is a filled or outlined rectangular form within a window and is typically used for design purposes. For example, you can put a CommandButton or a picture in a rectangle, or you can use a rectangle behind and slightly offset from another control to create a shadow effect. When you use a rectangle to group controls, the grouping does not affect the behavior of the controls in the rectangle.
