To reproduce: -add RadGridView and apply Windows7 theme -click on some GridHeaderCellElement. As a result the arrow is cut off. Workaround: this.radGridView1.ViewCellFormatting+=radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting; private void radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e) { GridHeaderCellElement cell = e.CellElement as GridHeaderCellElement; if (cell != null) { cell.Arrow.Margin = new Padding(0, 3, 0, 0); } }
