How to Change the Maximum Number of Preview Text Lines That Are Displayed (Visual Basic)

This sample illustrates how to change the maximum number of lines that will be displayed from the preview text while in PreviewMode.

' 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" & _  
                     vbCrLf & "19/06/2004" & _  
                     vbCrLf & "18K"  

Set Item = Record.AddItem("")

Item.Checked = False  
Record.AddItem "RE: Your Invoice"
