To reproduce:
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.radDropDownList1.DropDownStyle = RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList;
this.radDropDownList1.Text = "Select Name";
string[] names = { "Ketan", "Leena", "Amar" };
radDropDownList1.Items.AddRange(names);
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
radDropDownList1.SelectedIndex = -1;
radDropDownList1.Text = "Select Name";
}
1. Select any name from the drop down.
2. Click the button. The 'Text' is center justified.
Workaround: use RadDropDownStyle.DropDown and NullText instead of setting the Text property.
this.radDropDownList1.DropDownStyle = Telerik.WinControls.RadDropDownStyle.DropDown;
this.radDropDownList1.NullText = "Select Name";
