We currently use the AutoPreviewField property of the WinGrid in our Windows Forms applications. Do any of the igGrids have a similar type of feature?.
grd.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].AutoPreviewEnabled = true;
grd.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].AutoPreviewField = "Instructions";

Hello Steve,
Thank you for contacting Infragistics.
At this point igGrid does not support a feature similar to the AutoPreviewField out of the box. One thing that you can have a look at is Tooltips feature. Although, this feature is that close to Auto Preview it still gives you the opportunity do display additional information for grid cell when it is hovered.
Actually, igGrid Tooltip’s main purpose is to make the entire cell content visible and also to enable the user to select and copy the text that is inside the tooltip container (very useful when the text is too long to fit in a grid cell). Tooltips are displayed when the user hovers the mouse pointer over igGrid cells.
You can find more about the Tooltip feature here.
I have attached a sample where you can check out the feature.
In case you have additional questions feel free to ask them.
