The only memvars that would persist would be globals (PUBLICs) and there are all sorts of funky side effects, on top of being bad OOP in general. Form properties are visisble within the form, and have the necessary persistence and encapsulation you want.

The property would create its self using an AddProperty in a this_assign. I realize this would not (or should not) be used alot. But from returning a value from a NewObject or something just plop that Var in oGVars.

If you're going to violate encapsulation, why bother with it?
