Remarks

This option determines if the appearance settings of the columns and bands are included in the control’s layout when it’s saved to storage (a stream, xml file or the system registry). If the StoreAppearance option is set to false, the settings that are included in the layout when it’s stored are dependent upon the options of the OptionsColumnLayout object (only those settings which have their corresponding Store… properties set to true will be included).

If the layout is being restored from storage and the StoreAppearance option is set to true the control will try to load the appropriate options from storage. If these options cannot be found in the stored layout, the control’s corresponding options will be set to their default values.
