It seems that these two instances duplicate each other: Drop Down Menu and Select Field. Both follow Google Material Design specs for menus. The difference is not that obvious at first sight. Why do they provide two similar components?
Summary: Listboxes and dropdowns are compact UI controls that allow users to select options. Listboxes expose options right away and support multi-selection while dropdowns require a click to see options and support only single-selection.
To change the dropdown icon in React Material UI select field, we can set the IconComponent prop to a function that returns the icon component we want to render. We set the Select 's IconComponent prop to a function that returns the Person icon component. And we add some MenuItem components to add some choices.
A drop-down list (abbreviated drop-down, or DDL; also known as a drop-down menu, drop menu, pull-down list, picklist) is a graphical control element, similar to a list box, that allows the user to choose one value from a list. When a drop-down list is inactive, it displays a single value.
Select Field has more features that deal with form fields. onChange events, hintText, floatingLabelText. Drop Down Menus don't have those features.
