DxGrid.LoadLayout(GridPersistentLayout) Method

Restores the DxGrid‘s layout.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v22.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public void LoadLayout(
    GridPersistentLayout layout
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
layout	GridPersistentLayout	A GridPersistentLayout object that stores the layout.

Remarks

The Grid allows you to save and restore the component’s layout when necessary. The saved layout object includes the current page, column sort order/direction, column position, filter values, and grouped columns (information about expanded rows in groups is not included).

Use the LoadLayout method to restore the grid’s layout on demand. As an alternative, handle the LayoutAutoLoading event to restore the layout when the component is initialized.

Complete any of the following steps to obtain an object that stores the Grid layout:

• Use the LayoutAutoSaving event’s e.Layout argument.
• Use the object returned by the SaveLayout() method.
• Create an object that stores the Grid layout manually and convert it to the GridPersistentLayout type using the Deserialize method.

The code below displays two buttons: Save Layout and Load Layout. When a user clicks the first button, the current Grid layout is saved to the Layout parameter. Once a user clicks the second button, the component loads the most recently-saved layout from the Layout parameter and applies it to the grid.
