I'm disappointed a lot.

VFP8 VCX property definition

PropertyName<SPACE>=<SPACE>PropertyValue

In other words,the tag

<SPACE>=<SPACE>

is the prefix for the propertyValue.

VFP9 allow the extension of the property definition to a long multiline value.
The VFP9 VCX property multiline definition is:

PropertyName<SPACE>=<SPACE><REPLICATE(0h1,517)><STR(LEN(PropertyValue),8)>PropertyValue

The question?
It was necessary to generate a monster like this?
Backward is outside argument, why the class cannot be opened in VFP8.

This was not sufficient?

PropertyName<SPACE>=<_><STR(LEN(PropertyValue),8)>PropertyValue
