Description

Presently to populate a drop down list we have to create a drop down list and then a button (on a new line) to trigger the refresh. It would be nicer either:

• create a new component that will have a drop down list with a small refresh button beside it, or
• the drop down list to have the ability to load the list when you click on it. The only problem with this is that if you keep clicking the list it is going to trigger a refresh every time. This can be a problem if the list is populated from an external Restful service for example.

create a new component that will have a drop down list with a small refresh button beside it,

This seems like the best option because it will be easier to implement, and the user will explicitly be clicking refresh - meaning they want to refresh the drop down. As opposed to the user opening the drop down and having something update in the background. It could be implemented as another component to go alongside the standard dropdown list. The next component could be a simple object with a dropdown list and a button which has an overridable method to determine what would happen on hitting the refresh button.

This approach would standardize the approach used application-wide and help for a more consistent user experience.
