If the documentation fails, look in the mailing list archive. I remember
several questions about Group.

Anyway, you must know that this cannot be documented in any component
because it is a virtual property existing only in the IDE.

What does it do? It makes all the controls in the same group raise events
with the same name, i.e. a Group of buttons with the group name "mybuttons"
will all raise their Click() event, e.g., as mybuttons_Click().

Where did I read this? In the IDE, you can click on the Group property field
in the properties window. In the default configuration, you should see a
help box explaining all this just below that properties grid.
