Do not have data entry where only 1 choice is allowed (e.g. component type when adding a new component)

In the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility, when you try to add a new component to an AVEVA Adapter, you get a dropdown menu for the component type. However, there is only 1 choice: the AVEVA Adapter component type. The only required instance of the only other component type, OmfEgress, is already in place when you install the AVEVA Adapter, and so it does not (and should not) appear in the dropdown menu.

It seems that the dropdown menu was initially created to allow you to choose between the 2 component types, and then OmfEgress was removed because the user will never need to add a component of this type manually, which leaves an unnecessary dropdown menu.

This is just an example. In general, if the user has only 1 valid choice for a setting or a parameter, do not give them any sort of input method for that setting or parameter, even if the only choice is selected by default. The dropdown menu for the component type should be replaced with text that states that the component type that will be added.

The dropdown menu should be used for the component type only when an AVEVA Adapter has multiple component types besides OmfEgress. That is, adjust the use of the dropdown menu depending on the AVEVA Adapter.
