To reproduce: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); RadMessageBox.Instance.AutoSize = true; } private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string msg = string.Format("Test", (sender as RadButton).Name); RadMessageBox.Show(msg, "Error"); } Note that the size of RadMessageBox is adjusted automatically to display the whole content. Hence, it is not necessary to set the RadMessageBox.Instance.AutoSize property to true.
