When a RadGridView cell has a validation error, a red border will appear around the cell. In this case, the top validation border is missing on the first row cells. As a workaround, you can move the ContentPresenters of the cells a little bit in the loaded event of the control.
private void RadGridViewView_Loaded(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var treeListView = sender as RadTreeListView;
var editorPresenters = treeListView.ChildrenOfType<ContentControl>().Where(x => x.Name == "PART_ContentPresenter" && x.ParentOfType<GridViewCell>() != null);
foreach (var item in editorPresenters)
{
item.Margin = new System.Windows.Thickness(1);
}
}
