object

A SftDirectory object.

RegistryPath

Defines the Registry path where the column layout and control information is located (see below).

EntryName

Defines the Registry entry, located at RegistryPath, where the column layout and control information is located (see below).  If an empty string is specified, the "(Default)" entry at RegistryPath is used.

Comments

The LoadLayout method loads the column layout and control information from the specified Registry location.

RegistryPath must start with the prefix "USR:" or "MACH:", followed by the remainder of the Registry key.  USR: is equivalent to current user settings (HKEY_CURRENT_USER), MACH: is used for system settings (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE).  No other prefix is allowed.

The column widths, dropdown width and height for combo box style controls, sort column and sort direction are loaded.  The AutoSizeColumns property may prevent the loaded column widths from taking effect.

If the RegistryLocation property is defined, the control automatically invokes LoadLayout and SaveLayout, when it is created and destroyed.

Example

SftDirectory1.LoadLayout "USR:Software\Softelvdm\Samples\Test", "Layout"
