+/// This class is a custom QComboBox which does NOT display the down arrow. The down arrow takes
+/// a lot of real estate when you're trying to make them narrow. So much real estate that you can't
+/// see short lines of text such as "CH 1" without the digit cut off. The only thing that this
+/// custom widget does is to override the paint function. The new paint function draws the combo
+/// box (using all style sheet info) without the down arrow.
