Hello Gerben,
Subject line says it all.
Actually, it doesn't, since at least one person here does not have a deep insight of LaTeX. You should describe a little what \parbox does.
Is there?
Have you tried \framed{....} with [frame=off] as a parameter? You can set the width, the height and other parameters. Make sure \framed hase some vertical stuff in it to make it a vbox. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net
