' This sample illustrates how to add PreviewText to a GridRecord  
' And how to change the number of lines that will be displayed while in PreviewMode  

Dim Record As GridRecord  
Dim Item As GridRecordItem  

' Adds a record  
Set Record = wndGridControl.Records.Add  

' Only 2 lines of the PreviewText will be displayed  
wndGridControl.PaintManager.MaxPreviewLines = 2  

' Only the first 2 lines will be displayed while in PreviewMode  
' Because MaxPreviewLines has been set to 2.  
Record.PreviewText = "RE: Your Invoice (From: John Smith)" & _  
                     vbCrLf & "John Smith" & _
