    How to Change Drop Arrow Size

    Hi, All.

    How might I change the width of a drop arrow on a combobox?
    I have a project which intends to use Userforms with comboboxes on a touch screen. I have made the comboboxes quite large with a 28 point font to make an easy target for a finger point. The height of the drop arrow increases to match the combobox but the width remains the same regardless of the height. This results in a very small target that is difficult to trigger on the touch screen. I would like to make the width of the drop arrow at least match the height of the combo box. Is this achievable or do I need to try a different approach to the user interface altogether?

    Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.

    I don't know about increasing the width of the arrow, but one different approach is to have the drop down as soon as the combobox is touched:

    This code basically causes the combobox to dropdown as soon as the combobox takes focus. Let me know if that helps.
