Remarks

This option affects how the control’s layout is restored. If it’s set to true the columns that exist in the layout being loaded but do not exist in the current control will not be re-created.

If the RemoveOldColumns property is set to false, these columns will be added to the control. Note that the OptionsColumnLayout.StoreAllOptions must be set to true to allow this behavior.
