HOW-TO
Adding a WinForms control to a Ribbon Bar

SOLUTION
Any Windows Forms control can be added to a Ribbon Bar. That can be done easily by using RadHostItem.

For example a Windows Forms DateTimePicker can be added to a Ribbon Bar with the following piece of code:
 
DateTimePicker datePicker = new DateTimePicker();     
RadHostItem datePickerHost = new RadHostItem(datePicker);     
                 
this.RadRibbonBarGroup1.Items.Add(datePickerHost); 

Another example is adding a WinForms panel with radio buttons:
 
RadioButton radioButton1 = new RadioButton();  
radioButton1.Text = "Option1";  
radioButton1.Location = new Point(5, 5);  
RadioButton radioButton2 = new RadioButton();  
radioButton2.Text = "Option2";  
radioButton2.Location = new Point(5, 25);  
 
Panel panel = new Panel();  
panel.Size = new Size(100, 60);  
panel.Controls.AddRange(new Control[] { radioButton1, radioButton2 });  
 
RadHostItem hostItem = new RadHostItem(panel);  
this.radRibbonBarGroup1.Items.Add(hostItem);

    It will be great if this can be done by drag and drop from the toolbox
