Hi there,

I tried to provide some project-wide design presets via the Layout Manager but unfortunately some basic  properties are not stored in the *.lyt-file. So I created a helper method that sets some appearances and properties to fit my project's needs (it's just like the designer generated code).

So my question is, where do I have to place code like this:

ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Appearance = appearance1;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.AutoFitStyle = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.AutoFitStyle.ResizeAllColumns;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.CaptionVisible = Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.False;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.GroupByBox.Hidden = true;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.InterBandSpacing = 10;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.AllowAddNew = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.AllowAddNew.No;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.AllowDelete = Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.False;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.AllowRowFiltering = Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.True;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.AllowUpdate = Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.False;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.CardAreaAppearance = appearance2;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.CellClickAction = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.CellClickAction.RowSelect;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.FilterUIType = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.FilterUIType.HeaderIcons;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.HeaderAppearance = appearance3;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.HeaderClickAction = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.HeaderClickAction.SortMulti;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.RowAlternateAppearance = appearance4;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.RowAppearance = appearance5;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.RowSelectorAppearance = appearance6;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.RowSelectors = Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.False;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.RowSelectorWidth = 12;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.RowSpacingBefore = 0;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.SelectedRowAppearance = appearance7;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.SelectTypeCell = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.SelectType.None;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.SelectTypeCol = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.SelectType.None;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.SelectTypeGroupByRow = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.SelectType.None;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.SelectTypeRow = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.SelectType.Extended;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.RowConnectorColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(170)))), ((int)(((byte)(184)))), ((int)(((byte)(131)))));
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.ScrollStyle = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ScrollStyle.Immediate;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.TabNavigation = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.TabNavigation.NextControlOnLastCell;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.ViewStyle = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ViewStyle.SingleBand;
            ultraWinGrid.DisplayLayout.ViewStyleBand = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ViewStyleBand.OutlookGroupBy;
            ultraWinGrid.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Trebuchet MS", 9F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((byte)(0)));

For any help, thanks in advance.
