To reproduce: 1. Drag and drop RadColorBox 2. Add localization provider. Use the following article http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/forms-and-dialogs-colordialog-localization.html 3. Open ColorDialogForm and choose color which name was localized too. Close the form 54 You will see that the text of RadColorBox is not localized name, it`s system name. Workaround: 1. Subscribe to the ValueChanged event 2. Replace the text of RadColorBox with localized color name void radColorBox_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { string localizedColor = Telerik.WinControls.UI.ColorDialogLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider.GetLocalizedString(this.radColorBox.ColorDialog.SelectedColor.Name); this.radColorBox.ColorBoxElement.TextBoxItem.Text = localizedColor; }
