Is it possible to make sure that all inplace combo buttons are visible at all time? At least when its row has focus.

It is not so obvious to the user that a "choose from some items"-field is editable if there is no arrow beside the item.
 
I have dug through the whole source code now. It seems the control is destroyed as soon as it loses focus...
 
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Regular functionality doesn't allow that. You'll have to create your custom RecordItem -- derived class and to implement drawing methods, where you can draw such an arrow...

I think it would be better if the actual combo button was visible instead. Similar behavior as the auto-filters in MS Excel.
 
I guess I have to rewrite much of the report stuff for this.
