Setting the HeaderStringFormat of RadTreeViewItem does not format the Header. As a workaround, HeaderTemplate of RadTreeViewItem could be set which has TextBlock with StringFormat property set on its Text Binding. <DataTemplate x:Key="template"> <TextBlock Text="{Binding ., StringFormat='Received ({0:N0})'}" /> </DataTemplate> Available in LIB version: 2016.3.1121
Just tried the same with 2018.2 still does not work - a workaround causes overhead and less readable xaml => StringFormat should work <telerik:RadTreeViewItem Header="{Binding InafModel.INafModel_Entities.Count, StringFormat=Entities ({0})}" ItemsSource="{Binding InafModel.INafModel_Entities}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource Entity_DataTemplate}"/>
