Custom inspector difficulties creating a Box / Group like widget

Question

Hi!

I'm having some difficulties creating a custom inspector script.

What I'm hoping to achieve is something like this box bellow: alt text

Or this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=13&v=yqKG_8OXymM

I have experimented with:

 GUILayout.Box()

But since GUILayout.Box() only accepts content in form o GUIContent it does not fit my needs.

What I want to know exactly is if there is an API that facilitates the creation of such boxes or do I need to create my own wrapper using Rects / GUISkin and such.

The point is, I could do that wrapper but I bet I won't achieve such a clean layout as the provided examples and I'm very concerned with the visuals and UX of this particular editor script I'm working.
