The DevExpress Data Grid is one of those controls, so powerful and so rich with features, that you could build an entire application with just one single grid in it. We have always tried to help with discoverability of all those options. If you remember, the Grid Designer groups features and options in a logical way so that they are easy to find, even if you might not know the exact property name that governs a specific Grid behavior. For the upcoming v2013.1 release, the designer received a make over, and the new look should give a better overview of all the possible customization options for the Data Grid.
