I've asked before and never got an answer...and 2 years later, I'm still stuck.

I'm trying to create a dashboard of floating panes, each one with a control in it..

Here is my code to create a pane.

        private void AddGrid(SummaryQuery sq)
        {
            UltraGrid ug = CreateGrid(sq.ID, "This is a grid title that you shouldn't see");
            DockAreaPane dap = udmLayout.DockAreas.Add(DockedLocation.Floating, sq.ID);
            dap.FloatingLocation = new Point(100, 100);
            dap.Size = new Size(300, 300);
            DockableControlPane dcp = new DockableControlPane(sq.ID);
            dcp.Text = sq.Title;
            dcp.Control = ug;
            dap.Panes.Add(dcp);
        }

The code works fine and I'm able to move and dock the pane around.  In the FormClosing handler I have:

            udmLayout.SaveAsBinary(m_layoutFile);

In my FormLoad I have

            if (File.Exists(m_layoutFile))
            {
                try
                {
                    udmLayout.LoadFromBinary(m_layoutFile);
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    BSSLog.Error(ex);
                }
            }

But it's not working.  The panes aren't being created or no error is given. 

I'm guessing that I'm creating the dynamic panes incorrectly.

Come on guys,  I've been a subscriber for years, but I've started using DevExpress for other things...don't make me leave you.
