Some problems with background behaviour

Hi,

Thanks for this. It has helped me to refine my way of thinking about
backgrounds. I was just lumping all the objects in the card into one big
background group just because they all appeared on all cards. It is obvious,
once I think about it, that I am much better to take a modular approach to
backgrounds and set up a number of groups which I can then address directly
if necessary.

Unfortunately, I think the problem I have is actually that one of my
"fields" is a dropdown list- so a button. It seems that these do propogate
across all backgrounds. So, I will work on remembering the state of the
dropdown buttons for each card, setting them back to a default condition
when the card is closed, and then re-instating the state from a card
specific custom property in a pre-open statement. This will be a lot easier
using the modular approach to groups as backgrounds.

Though if someone has some example code of this sort of management of button
status I would be grateful for a link.

cheers
