Disable combobox selection frame

[mutleey]

Hello everyone, I'm trying to remove (deactivate) the frame that is on the combobox button, I can even start the GUI without it but when selecting a value in the control it reappears as in the image where the arrow points, how can I completely remove this box?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>


Local $hGUI = GUICreate("COMBOBOX", 500, 500)
GUISetBkColor(0xE9E6DF)


Local $idComboBox = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Item 1", 100, 200, 260, 20, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 18, 700, 0, "Segoe UI", 4)
GUICtrlSetData($idComboBox, "COMBOBOX|COMBOBOX1|COMBOBOX2|COMBOBOX3", "COMBOBOX")


GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd

GUIDelete($hGUI)

GUICtrlSendMsg($idComboBox, $WM_CHANGEUISTATE, 65537, 0)

Try this.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3> 

Local $hGUI = GUICreate("COMBOBOX", 500, 500)
GUISetBkColor(0xE9E6DF)
Local $idBttnFocus = GUICtrlCreateButton("=P", -20, -20, 5, 5) ; my trick
Local $idComboBox = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Item 1", 100, 200, 260, 20, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 18, 700, 0, "Segoe UI", 4)
GUICtrlSetData($idComboBox, "COMBOBOX|COMBOBOX1|COMBOBOX2|COMBOBOX3", "COMBOBOX")

; WildByDesign
;~ Global Const $WM_CHANGEUISTATE = 0x0127
;~ GUICtrlSendMsg($idComboBox, $WM_CHANGEUISTATE, 65537, 0)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd
GUIDelete($hGUI)
