The refresh graphic itself can be extracted using UIKit Artwork Extractor. (Or, get a refresh icon from one of the many free iphone icon sets, like Glyphish)

To place it in a UITextField like in Safari, set the UITextField rightView property to a UIImageView or UIButton with the image set to the refresh image.

UITextField* myTextField = [[[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0,0,200,44)] autorelease];

myTextField.rightView = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage: [UIImage imageNamed: @"UIButtonBarRefresh.png"]] autorelease];

You'll want to use a UIButton instead of a UIImageView if you want to get the TouchUpInside notification for the refresh button.

Can you give me some code snippet how to set rightView property? — dormitkon, Apr 04 '11 at 02:43

It's a custom safari widget. You have to make your own.

The meaning is that the art isn't a native asset you can just call up. You make it or get it from an icon set. – amattn Apr 04 '11 at 03:37
