The SaveLayoutToRegistry method creates an registry key to save the current custom TileControl layout at runtime. Later, this layout can be loaded via the TileControl.RestoreLayoutFromRegistry method. You can also save a custom user layout via the TileControl.SaveLayoutToXml and TileControl.SaveLayoutToStream methods.
Saved and restored layouts keep information only about group and item arrangements. Item content and appearance settings are not kept.
Tip
You can utilize the Persistence Behavior or Workspace Manager component to save and restore layouts for all supported DevExpress controls at once.
