"Explorer Style" borderless combobox

[Barry Manilow]

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to CF development. I'm building a Budget application,
and would like to have a borderless combobox that behaves like the
dropdown's at the top of the "File Explorer" app on a Pocket PC. (For
example, open the File Explorer on a Pocket PC and look at the
dropdown on the top right used to to sort the file list. This is the
type of combobox I am looking for). I have seen this type of combobox
in many MS Pocket PC apps (Outlook, Tasks, Excel, Notes, etc), as well
as other, 3rd party apps. Is there a control I am missing that does
this already, or is there one available somewhere that I have not
found? Being that it is used in so many places, I'm hoping that it
already exists somewhere.

I guess I could build such a custom control myself, but why reinvent
the wheel if it already exists? Does anyone know where I can find such
a control?

Thanks,
Brad

Borderless combo can be achieved by placing it in a panel. Similar approach
to the classic solution for borderless textboxes:
