Is there a way to hide the drop down arrows on combo boxes until field is selected?

I am using combo boxes for validation purposes on a continuous view form, but the drop down arrows make the screen look very "busy". Is there a way to turn off or hide the drop down arrows unless the field is selected for editing? I realize I could use text boxes with custom validation coding, but that would be a major hassle considering the number of fields on multiple screens I will have to validate.



Thanks.

First result from google.

Thank you, cyanidem. I found that too when I googled. I was hoping there was a property setting for the combo box that I was missing, but I tried that method and it works.

Unfortunately there isn't. So workarounds like that are needed

Then I will do it the workaround way. Thanks.
