The loud noise you just heard was the sound of my open hand smiting my 
forehead.

This would have made one of my apps SO much simpler. In fact, I'm 
actually tempted to go rewrite the darned thing using separate cards 
and this technique. The client just asked for some significant changes 
and I suspect I can roll this one in almost transparently.

On another app, though I *had* to use the hide/show groups method 
because only part of a window (card) changes in response to the users 
selections.

Nice to have the versatility!
