Hi Danny,
Sorry for the delay in Response.
Thanks you for your interest in Syncfusion products.
The PerformLayout raises the CreateControl event I am afraid that I was not able to reproduce the issue, when we call the PerfomLayout method, it doesn't raise the CreateControlEvent.
Here is the sample that I have used to tested this issue.
http://websamples.syncfusion.com/samples/Tools.Windows/F67817/main.htmPlease take a look into the sample and could you please modify the sample with reproduce steps to reproduce the issue. So that we would be able to reproduce the issue in our side and investigate further on this issue.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best Regards,
Bhuvana
