In True DBList, the term layout refers to the complete set of persistent properties for a TDBList or TDBCombo control, including its design-time collections. You can store one or more list layouts in a binary file, then recall them later. You can even take advantage of this feature in code to enable your end users to save their layout preferences.
The Layouts collection facilitates switching between multiple named layouts at either design time or run time. Both the TDBList and TDBCombo controls support this collection.
