saving end-user customization (in c# preferably)

[David T.]

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
