I do basically what Howard suggested in my project, though it is at the 
card level. Well, actually I do the second half (enabling) as a 
development aid... it allows me access to all of my controls, even 
though a user wouldn't normally be able to use them at that point in 
the program. Very useful.

Another useful technique is through grouping, since setting the enabled 
of a group to false, sets all of its contained controls to false, or 
setting to true, sets them all to true. The cool part of that technique 
is that it doesn't require a repeat loop, and acts very quickly.

Either way, it certainly works at the card level, for the current card. 
I don't know about doing this at the stack level for controls which are 
not currently displayed.
