I just tested this and it looks like the controlNames of a card only 
return the names of controls whose parent is the card. Controls within a 
group are listed by ID. I'm not sure if this is correct or not, I can 
see the logic, but it would seem if the parent has to be the card then 
controls within a group shouldn't be in the list at all.

My test card used a background group; it might be different for a card 
group.
