When RadGridView is in right to left mode and the data is grouped, the layout of the items that represent the group field names is incorrect - the close button overlays the text. WORKAROUND: public Form83() { new RadControlSpyForm().Show(); InitializeComponent(); this.radGridView1.GroupByChanged += radGridView1_GroupByChanged; } void radGridView1_GroupByChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCollectionChangedEventArgs e) { foreach (GroupFieldElement fieldElement in this.radGridView1.GridViewElement.GroupPanelElement.GetDescendants( delegate(RadElement element) { return element is GroupFieldElement; }, Telerik.WinControls.TreeTraversalMode.BreadthFirst)) { fieldElement.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight; } }
