Only by covering it with a rectangle or by covering the entire ComboBox with a
TextBox bound to the same field that also covers the arrow. You can have the
TextBox NOT be in the TabOrder while the ComboBox is. When the user tabs into
the ComboBox it will move to the front and the arrow will be visible. To cover
the case where the user clicks on the TextBox you use its GotFocus event to move
focus to the ComboBox.
