It appears not to trigger openCard.
FYI, the reason that I needed to do this is that I am trying to do
something with long id's and found what seems to be a bug in how the
engine handles this. If I do this while on the first card of the stack:
put the long id of control 76 of card 1 of stack <myStack>
I get something like this:
field id 1051 of group id 1045 of group id 1004 of card id 2276 of
stack "PDdata" of stack <stackPath>
But if I move to any other card of the stack, and execute the same
command, I get:
field id 1051 of group id 1045 of group id 1004 of card id 2675 of
stack "PDdata" of stack <stackPath>
Note that the card id number in the long id is different, depending on
which card is current -- despite that fact that I asked specifically
for "the long id of control 76 of ***card 1*** " both times.
I know that occasionally executing commands via msg box give anomalous
results, but that appears not to be a factor here.
So I need to be on the same card of the stack every time I fetch long
id's for controls of that stack, or else my handlers won't work
properly.
Bug, or what?

No. I don't think it triggers any messages.

Just discovered a trick I didn't know about. This is in the IDE,
BTW. I needed to have the first card of one of my stacks as the
current card, while I do something from another stack (a utility
stack). If I "go card 1 of stack<stackName>" then the
stack<stackName> comes to the front, but I want to keep the
utility stack as the topstack, so even following this by "go back"
or some such looks messy on screen. Instead, I can do this:
set the currentcard of stack<stackName> to \
the short name of card 1 of stack<stackName>
and it all happens in the background.
Probably others knew about this, but I didn't, so I'm posting it
for those like me for whom it is a new trick.
