To reproduce: Create a RadForm and use the following code: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); var theme = new Telerik.WinControls.Themes.Windows7Theme(); ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = theme.ThemeName;// "Windows7"; this.AllowTheming = false; } Start the application on Windows 7, you will see that the close/minimize/maximize buttons cannot be clicked. Workaround: Do not set the AllowTheming property or set it to true
