What we've done is define two sets of listboxes to control selections and indicate
which data each alternate should state take into account. As the state of all new
objects, by default, set to
inherited
, all of our listboxes are using the alternate state
defined in the next higher-level object, which is the container into which they
were placed.
Any selection made on one state does not affect any
other state.
By using container objects to accommodate the various listboxes related to origin and
destination dimensions, we are able to save some valuable screen space and keep an
ordered layout in our document.
