Chris,

This is a limitation of the way VFP stores the Properties set via the property sheet in a memo field.

The users of your subclass simply have to set the value in code in the Load() or Init():

this.pviews = "view1,view2,view3," + ;
   "view4,view5"

remember that no string constant can be more than 255 characters so they may need to add strings together like above. You can put a comment on the pView property to alert your developers of the size limitation.

>Hi - I am attempting to create a form class for my fellow developers to use. I have created a property on the form called "pViews" and set it to default to "". In subclassed forms I would expect the developer to enter a list of the views they want to open with the form separated by commas. I have got this working OK but the limitation of this is the max 255 characters in the string - having said that - I get a fatal error if there are more than 238 characters in the property... Is there a better way to approach this sort of requirement?
