Hi, in Windows 7 using the latest common control DLL, dropdown list combo boxes have been replaced by a button that looks similar to the CXTPButton with a dropdown style. Unfortunately the arrows are a different size and are in a different position relative to the button.
 
For example
 
 
The first combo is a standard CComboBox with a dropdown style, the second in the same control with a dropdown list style (notice the button), the third is a CXTPButton with a push button style of xtpButtonDropDown
 
I can fix this issue by providing my own theme, and drawing the arrow myself, but I thought I'd mention it here in case it's a bug.
 
regards

Hi,

I don't agree its some bug. first is Combo second is Button, why they have to be same. if you don't like how CXTButton looks here - just use CComboBox then.
