    I am not sure I understand your question completely but if you use the following:

    hm_getvalue groups name="GroupName" dataname=id

    that will give you the id of the group with name GroupName.

    If you want the user to select groups you could use:

    *createmarkpanel groups 1

    set grpList [hm_getmark groups 1]

    Which would give you a list of ids selected by the user.

    If you are looking for the the contact surfaces of a contact group then use something like this:

    set mainSurfList [hm_getvalue groups id=1 dataname=maincontactsurflist]

    set secondarySurfList [hm_getvalue groups id=1 dataname=secondarycontactsurflist]

    You want a tcl command to open the card image?

    Do you want the ids of all the contact groups or just for a specific one? If just for a specific one how are you selecting that one?

    In TCL for the command [hm_getvalue cards id=? dataname=...]  I dont know what to put for card id ... it does not accept group id ...

    also i want a specific command to read the card
