The UI indicates that a strikethrough is applied, but it is not visible in the document. Workaround: Reorder the UI layers of RadRichTextBox so that the one responsible for drawing the strikethrough decoration is added in a higher position: protected override void BuildUILayersOverride(IUILayerContainer uiLayerContainer) { uiLayerContainer.UILayers.Remove(DefaultUILayers.StrikethroughDecoration); uiLayerContainer.UILayers.AddAfter(DefaultUILayers.UnderlineDecoration, new StrikethroughTextDecorationUILayer()); }
