Really ?

Yes it takes me too much time to code some 500-1000 characters strings this
way and never forget the best automation developers are they who are lazy.

I just want to paste the string out of a text editor with Ctrl_V into the
source. In case this is not possible I will search for a control for wich a
text property can be assigned with Ctrl_V in design mode. This would enable
to retrieve the long string in run time.
