Adaptable Options Reference

AdaptableOptions is the only object created that AdapTable requires to initialise and run.

It is set up by developers at design-time and passed into the AdapTable constructor at startup.

The AdaptableOptions class consists of a few 'base' properties and a number of xxxOptions properties which are themselves collections of related properties (e.g. Search, Layout).

Any property that is not supplied by the user when populating the object, will use the default value which is the most sensible and popular option.
