this is simple just fire on groupbox_Paint Event

C#

private void groupBox1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)  
        {  
            Graphics gfx = e.Graphics;  
            Pen p = new Pen(Color.Orange, 3);  
            gfx.DrawLine(p, 0, 5, 0, e.ClipRectangle.Height - 2);  
            gfx.DrawLine(p, 0, 5, 10, 5);  
            gfx.DrawLine(p, 62, 5, e.ClipRectangle.Width - 2, 5);  
            gfx.DrawLine(p, e.ClipRectangle.Width - 2, 5, e.ClipRectangle.Width - 2, e.ClipRectangle.Height - 2);  
            gfx.DrawLine(p, e.ClipRectangle.Width - 2, e.ClipRectangle.Height - 2, 0, e.ClipRectangle.Height - 2);  
        }
