Hi there,

We are using the GridViewComboBoxColumn to display a set of times available for the user to pick from in a given day of the week.

The client would like to choose from values like "0759", "1700", "1130", etc.  Basically it's just a 4 digit text value.  Because of their screen size requirements we need to make the column width as small as possible.

The problem I'm having is that when the user attempts to edit the column, when the cell changes to a Textbox with the arrow, the last digit gets clipped.  This poses a problem because the user likes to Tab through the cells making changes and they cannot see the true value because the last digit is clipped.

You can see an example in this screenshot.

it appears like there is plenty of room next to the arrow pointing down, but there appears to be some excessive left-padding on that arrow that is overlapping the text.

Is there anyway I can adjust this?

Hi Rick Glos,

I am attaching a project  with a modified global style for RadComboBox.
You can also play with the Padding property of RadComboBox as demonstrated.

Thanks Pavel.

For anyone else, I was able to fix the issue by just using the Padding property like so:

        <Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:RadComboBox}"
            <Setter Property="Padding" Value="3,0,0,0" /> 
        </Style>
