represents a group of controls on a tab.
You can have multiple groups on a tab.
Each group should have an icon for when the width of the group gets reduced

In addition to specifying a label you can display an icon in the bottom-right corner called a DialogLauncher
This icon raises an event that you can handle
There is a DialogLauncherClick event that is raised when the user clicks the icon.

You can also specify an image and label but these elements are only displayed if the user adds the dialog launcher to the Quick Access Toolbar.
