WPF - Titled Border

Question

Is there an equivalent in WPF to the Titled Borders that exists in Java's Swing framework? Below is a link that contains a screenshot of what I am looking for, and some very poor ASCII art.

What you're after is called a "GroupBox" in Windows speak.

I've found this example of how to use it on C# Corner:

<Window x:Class="GroupBoxSample.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
    <Grid>
        <GroupBox Margin="10,10,10,10" FontSize="16" FontWeight="Bold"
                  Background="LightGray">
            <GroupBox.Header>               
               Mindcracker Network
            </GroupBox.Header>

            <TextBlock FontSize="12" FontWeight="Regular">
                This is a group box control content.               
            </TextBlock>            
        </GroupBox>
    </Grid>
</Window>

A GroupBox can only contain one direct child, so if you want several sub controls you'll have to wrap them in a Grid or a StackPanel.

There's more information on the GroupBox at the MSDN, it's Class Page and How to Style it
