This presents a case for dropping an instance of your business object inside the toolbar rather than adding it to the application object dynamically at runtime.

Also, if you are only using this view to lookup ids or any other READ ONLY function, you don't really need a business object, you can just create the DE and use the DELoader to load it.

Or, you could even just use a view or sql statement right in the drop down. What you could do is use a timer that will requery the combo/combos view so it is always up to date... or have a refresh button on the tool bar.

There are ALOT of possibliities. Without knowing what all your requirements are, it is hard to make a recomendation on which approach to use.
