    There is no simple property that you can change to do what you want.
    More, its about is it really needed to do as standards would stipulate that the groupboxes should be drawn with the current VisualStyles of the windows session

    No, you need a separate class so it can inherit the groupbox control to perform the drawing. If you were to do the drawing in the form_paint event it would be more efforts instead of having a simple class that would act like a user control.
