In LUA script I want to know a certain control is currently in active control set or not.  
I know how to get current active control set by `pages.getActiveControlSet()`, but  
I cannot find the way to know which control set a control belongs to.

For example, I want to do this;

```auto
local activeControlSet = pages.getActiveControlSet()
local controlSetOfControl = control.getControlSet() -- This function is not available in current LUA function library
if controlSetOfControl == activeControlSet then
  ...
end

```

Or, more simple way;

```auto
if control.isActive() then
  ...
end

```

Can I achieve similar result by other way?

I also want know how to get the page which a control belong to.

I want to filter out the controls which are currently inactive or not included in current page in certain situation, so I should know where a control belongs to.
