    I was wondering if there is a way to save end-user customizations of the commandBar.  For example,  commandBarRowElement1 and commandBarRowElement2 may be dragged to a different location in the toolbar area or a button may be added/removed.  This all works until i close the app and re-open it, the default layout/setting is loaded instead of the previous layout/settings.  i was hoping you could provide a link or example c# code for this. Thank you for your time in this matter.

    Hi David,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    You can referrer to this article Save and Load Layout | RadControls for WinForms Documentation. In addition, I prepared a short code snipped for you in case you want to save and load the layout when the application closes and loads.

    private const string LAYOUT_FILE = "layout.xml";
     
    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                if (File.Exists(LAYOUT_FILE))
                {
                    this.radCommandBar1.CommandBarElement.LoadLayout(LAYOUT_FILE);
                }
            }
     
    private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
        {
            this.radCommandBar1.CommandBarElement.SaveLayout(LAYOUT_FILE);
        }

    I hope I helped
