Remove the name on a combo box within a python add-in

Question

Hi, I would like to remove or edit the label that shows up next to the combo box in a python add-in I created, but I cannot figure out how. It is probably something really simple that I have overlooked in the help documents and in my book, but after 2 hours of searching I still have not found a solution, so I figured I'd crowd-source. Thank you so much if you can help me!

Hi Hannes,

Can you leave the caption for that widget blank (or put in a space) in the Python Addins wizard?

Alternatively, you can edit the config.xml in the addin folder within your addin folder. Set the tag for the combo box to be ComboBox caption="" (empty string in double quotes). Don't forget to recompile it by running makeaddin.py and relaunch ArcMap/Catalog.

Hope that helps.
