"belongs to" is what sense? The owner of the background group is the
card. Can you say what you mean operationally?
Also try:
send "put the long id of control 76" to card 1 of stack <myStack>
get the result
What does that produce?
the result is empty
executing just the first line gives (for some reason) just the short
name of the control. I'm not even going to try to decipher that anomaly.

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?
This still strikes me as a bug.
