What got me started using groups instead of cards was referencing objects in scripts: While designing WebMerge 2.0 I kept moving controls from one tab to another until I got myself clear on what the program's flow should be. During those changes I'd have to change every script reference to every object to include the different card name.Unless (as is the case in one of my apps), you have multiple groups with controls that have the same name. This facilitates making the code more generic/abstract and allowing me to place scripts at a higher level, but has the downside that I have to track the current group and do things like:
With groups I have all 180+ controls on one card, so I can say:
get the hilite of btn "idxTemplateOption"
...and it doesn't matter to the code which group that's part of.
get the hilite of btn "idxTemplateOption" of group curGroup
WHen you forget to to that, stuff breaks in ways that are all but invisible.
