changing the appearance of drop-down boxes

Hi,

I am new to LC Designer and would like to change the appearance of a drop-down list so that the arrow doesn't appear on the form, but when you click in the box the list appears. It seems like a simple thing to do, but I just can't seem to figure it out!

Hi,

You want something like a dateTime field, but you will not be able to achieve this with a dropdown list. You cannot change the appearance of the arrow for this object. You could try a listbox instead, as this does not have an arrow, just a scroll bar when active.

A real messy workaround would be to have a hidden white rectangle appear over the arrow on the prePrint event and have its presence set to hidden again on postPrint. This is messy, trying to get it aligned and looking right. I wouldn't really recommend it and would just work with the default appearance.

Good luck,

Niall
