What you're referring to is a combo box. It has a hidden list of

Whether rightly or wrongly this is what I've always referred to the
so called chevrons as. Most people when I say. "Chevron" say, "What?"
Having been an Army brat much of my early life & in the Coast Guard
after that this Chevron is what's it's called when adding V shaped
stripes with Slashes on the forearm for the number of years served.
Anyhow when talking to nOObs over the phone they know what a down
arrow is so if I lose them with dropdown arrow then I shorten it. I
also call the resulting combo box as a dropdown menu to nOObs. The
only difference than a regular dropdown menu is that one clicks an
arrow versus a menu item name.
Thank you, Wayne, and others for telling me what you call those two items.
However, there must be "official", Microsoft-sanctioned names for them, right?
