I suggest that you use a TableLayoutPanel or FlowLayoutPanel to contain the GroupBoxes. You can add and remove items or columns and the other items or columns will reflow automatically. You should start by reading the documentation for each to see which is more appropriate and then search the web for examples if required. Play around with them a bit in a test project to get a feel for them. If you still need more help, post back after that.

By the way, please provide meaningful thread titles. Your title is of no value whatsoever and, if everyone did that, we would have to open every single thread to find those that are relevant to us, which is a big waste of time.

sir jm.. how can you make the groupbox to stop moving when inside of a flowlayout panel??

The whole point of the FlowLayoutPanel is the flow. If that's not what you want then use the TableLayoutPanel.
