I did rework the text a little. I would like to get some careful review for this. Nielx put out the (valid) concern that he's not confident in random students with no previous Haiku experience to write the API reference. I'd like to know if I should put online more of these tasks, or if I should stop now because the quality is too low. git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@39686 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

A Box represents a square on the interface with dimensions, an optional

name, and no interactivity.

This would be used to visually group elements together.

There can only be a single child view in the box. This view can, however,

act as a nesting container if you need more things to show inside the box.

You don't usually call this directly, if you want to build a BBox from a

message, prefer calling Instanciate, which can properly handle errors.

If the archive is a deep one, the box will also unarchive all of its

archive) will be returned. Otherwise, this function will return NULL.

You can use any type of BView for this, such as a BPopupMenu.
