I couldn't find anything related.

To do that, you need to save the controls you added, what type they are, the place you added them, and all the other info you set when you added them; and store that info in a file - the read it back at startup and add them again.

We can't do that for you: we have no idea what you code is doing, how it does it, or when it does it. So start by picking a sensible file format (XML, or JSON maybe) and store the data in a sensible place: Where Should I Store My Data?[^] - to code is in C#, but it's pretty obvious stuff.
