Hiding the button of a combo box

[Ulcom]

Hi

I have a continuous form containing a field which is a combobox.
In the form view, you see for each reord the button of the combo box
If you are in datashett view, the button appear only when you hit the field.
Is it possible to do the same in form view

thanks

It's possible, with a work-around using a small rectangle to cover the
drop-down arrow. Details here:

Place a small label over it.
Set it's backcolor to the same as the surrounding detail section.
Set it's BackStyle to Normal.
It will hide the arrow until you click in the control.
