Comparing the CExtComboBox with the VC2003 similar control, in my opinion the CExtComboBox drop button is a bit uglier.
If you look at this screenshot you can see the difference is that the prof-uis button is a bit larger and the arrow not exactly centered. I do not know if this is a drawing problem in my system due to some settings or if it is normal. Please let me know.

Thank you for reporting the problem. It seems Visual Studio and Microsoft Office use a fixed value for the width of the drop-down button, but we calculated this value as the width of the thumb box in the horizontal scroll bar:

INT nDD = (INT) ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXHTHUMB);
We made this button absolutely the same as in Visual Studio. The improvement will be available in the minor release.
