Declaration
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| path | String | A String value which specifies the system registry path to save the layout to. |
Remarks
You can define whole and partial registry keys as the parameter. For instance, specifying “Software\MyCompany\MyProject" as a partial key will result in settings being saved to the “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyCompany\MyProject" path. You can also specify the entire path if you need to store the layout to another root key. An example is the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MyCompany\MyProject" registry path.
Once saved a layout can be loaded using the LayoutControl.RestoreLayoutFromRegistry method.
See Save and Restore Layout to learn more.
Tip
You can utilize the Persistence Behavior or Workspace Manager component to save and restore layouts for all supported DevExpress controls at once.

string regKey = "DevExpress\\Layout Control\\Layouts";
layoutControl1.SaveLayoutToRegistry(regKey);
// ...
layoutControl1.RestoreLayoutFromRegistry(regKey);
