You'll need to have references to these controls as they are added at
run-time so loop through them and write out /enough/ information to
recreate them when you next run the program. Name, Location, Size, Text
ought to be a good start.

Choose your favourite file format - XML, Ini, plain, old-fashioned text;
whatever suits you best.

You might want to implement something like this:

Depending on your needs, it could be wiser to do it differently.
