Development software has the same conundrum that new OSes do, namely that they

developers onboard ready to release software when the OS becomes available, so
that enough people will be interested in taking the plunge.
Ok, let's assume the controls are unique on each card. First, we need an
object that is common on all cards, so we create a box and group it

Another option is to use a specific control to handle the dragging. This
allows you to define the region that triggers the drag, and you don't have
to worry about excluding objects from the script.
