Custom ComboBox properties

[TJones8]

Hi all
I'm going to cross-post this the VB ActivX Controls forum. Hope i don't get a-flamed.

I'm creating a custom combobox for use in in-house programming projects here at work.
I've been told to do this to create a nice and even uniform effect blah blah blah.
I've already added obigitry auto-completion adn some other bits and bobs.
What i need to know is if there is a way at setting a default font, and (this is the real doosey) if it is possible to 'hide' the drop-down arrow i.e. to make it appear as a simple text box.
And it also needs to not allow 'clicks' on the hidden button.

So basically, if there are no items attached to the combo box it should appear as a text box.

Thx for any input.

create one on ur own...
"creating a custom combobox" i thought that is what u meant...

are u using inbuilt vb control?(i guess so but still...)

Sorry, should have been clearer..
The control I am building inherits the combo box class since i thought it would save a lot of time to just tweak the combo box to my needs...
