Post Developer Controls

Good morning,



I have created a simple form that uses Developer Controls, in this case Drop Down Menus, I have attached the document so that you have a visual.

As you can see in the Day, Month, Year and Pieces fields, it is not apparent there is a Drop Down menu to select an option. Is there a way I can set the Drop Down arrow to appear constantly, to indicate its existence?

Thank you!

Why not use a date picker content control?
If you protect the document for forms, you can tab through the fields and the dropdowns will become apparent when the cursor lands.

A genius idea, which I have now implemented! It asks the user to click and set the date, which should be plenty enough! Thank you, Graham
