Deserializing layout settings from untrusted resources may create security issues. Review the following help topic for additional information: Safe Deserialization.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraTreeList

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraTreeList.v23.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Win.Navigation, DevExpress.Win.TreeList

Declaration

C#

public virtual void RestoreLayoutFromRegistry(
    string path,
    OptionsLayoutBase options
)

VB.NET

Public Overridable Sub RestoreLayoutFromRegistry(
    path As String,
    options As OptionsLayoutBase
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
path	String	A string value specifying the system registry path.
options	OptionsLayoutBase	An OptionsLayoutTreeList object that specifies which Tree List options must be restored. Or a OptionsLayoutBase.FullLayout object, to restore all the settings.

Remarks

Use the RestoreLayoutFromRegistry method to restore the TreeList’s layout, written to the system registry by the TreeList.SaveLayoutToRegistry method.

The control’s layout is restored from the path specified by the path parameter. You are allowed to define whole and partial registry keys. For instance, if you define a partial key, “Software\MyCompany\MyTool" the full path will be as follows: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyCompany\MyTool". If you wish to store a layout in another root key, you should define the entire path, for instance: “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MyCompany\MyTool".

Note

When restoring a layout during a form load (for instance, in your Form.Load event handler), you may need to call the TreeList.ForceInitialize method prior to the layout restoration. See this method to learn more.
