To reproduce: use the following code snippet: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); this.radDropDownList1.AutoSizeItems = true; this.radDropDownList1.VisualListItemFormatting += radDropDownList1_VisualListItemFormatting; PopulateList(); } private void radDropDownList1_VisualListItemFormatting(object sender, VisualItemFormattingEventArgs args) { args.VisualItem.BorderBoxStyle = BorderBoxStyle.FourBorders; args.VisualItem.BorderTopWidth = 0; args.VisualItem.BorderLeftWidth = 0; args.VisualItem.BorderRightWidth = 0; args.VisualItem.BorderBottomWidth = 0; } public void PopulateList() { for (int x = 0; x < 20; x++) { if (x == 0) { radDropDownList1.Items.Add(new RadListDataItem(string.Empty)); } radDropDownList1.Items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Item" + x)); } } private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.radDropDownList1.Items.Clear(); PopulateList(); } 1. Open the drop-down and scroll. 2. Close the popup. 3. Click the button. 4. Open the drop-down again and try to scroll. Workaround: private void radDropDownList1_VisualListItemFormatting(object sender, VisualItemFormattingEventArgs args) { args.VisualItem.BorderColor = Color.Transparent; }
