RowSizingAutoMaxLines Property

Returns or sets the maximum number of lines a row will display when Auto-Sizing is enabled.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property RowSizingAutoMaxLines As Integer
public int RowSizingAutoMaxLines {get; set;}
Remarks

You can use the RowSizing property to specify that the control should automatically adjust the height of rows to accommodate multiple lines of text in the band or the grid controlled by the specified override. If a row contains one or more cells with the CellMultiLine property set to display more than one line of text, the row can resize itself so that all the text in the cell(s) is visible. Depending on the setting of RowSizing, just the row containing a multiline cell may be resized, or all the rows in the band or grid may be resized to match the one containing the multiline cell.

The RowSizingAutoMaxLines property is used to limit amount of row resizing the control will use to accommodate multiline cells. If one or more rows are being resized to display multiple lines of text, their height will only be increased enough to display the number of lines of text specified by this property. Use this property when you have rows that are being automatically resized and you want to display memo or long text fields in a multiline cell, but do not want rows growing too tall and disrupting the overall layout of the grid.

Example
Following code sets some of the properties available for controlling row sizing.
