    Hello Florent,
    Please accept our apologies for the delayed response.
    Would you please clarify what you mean by saying 'restore the last rule' ? Do you mean that you wish to restore a deleted rule? Or do you want to cancel changes made to a rule?
    Probably, this functionality can be found in any other product. If yes, please provide us with a video that illustrates this functionality. If not, would you please describe the scenario step by step?
    This information would help us to find an appropriate solution for you.

    I am looking forward to your response.

      I use the property ShowConditionalFormattingItem to activate the conditional formatting feature for my data grids.
      A formatting rule applied at runtime in a listview by the user works great.
      But if the user log off and log on again, the formatting rule applied in the listview isn't saved/restored.
      This is what I mean by restore the last rule, it's restore the appearance imposed by the rule in the listview.

      Hello Florent,

      I have provided an XAF example in the How to enable the Conditional Formatting feature of the WinForms GridControl in the XAF GridListEditor and preserve ListView formatting settings between runs? ticket. I hope this solution meets your needs.

        Hello,

        Thank you for the clarification.
        To achieve this goal, I recommend you save and then restore GridControl's layout using the GridView.SaveLayoutTo~ and GridView.RestoreLayoutForm~ methods accordingly.
        Note, that it is important to set the OptionsLayoutGrid.StoreFormatRules property to True. Please try this approach and let us know your results.
        I am looking forward to your reply.
