I have a need to save the layout of the grid any time the user adds/removes columns, resizes column widths and/or rearranges the order of columns.  I already know to use the grid.SaveLayout() method.  That's not the issue, I just don't want to have to listen to so many events to be able to know when to call SaveLayout().

Hello, Chris,

Thank you for writing.  

In order to detect when a column is added, removed or moved you can handle the RadGridView.Columns.CollectionChanged event. The NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs.Action argument indicates what is the change. As to the columns resizing, you can handle the RadGridView.ColumnWidthChanged event.

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.
 
Regards,
