Part of the reason is that they aren't just a single component. They are a container component for the columns, which contain editorControls and headingControls, and you have to address each of them specifically. I seriously recommend, as Akshat does, that you use the designer. I spent some time looking at the concept of just trying to read the current grid layout if a column is moved by a user, for example, and there doesn't seem to be a way to do that, at least that I can see. Or not without some huge amount of work (just reading the array of columns returns the default layout when the form opened). It's not hard in the designer to define the columns, which as noted earlier in this thread, I sent you instructions for in email.
