Adding other controls to the RadRibbonBar

[Nicholas]

I'm hoping that this is an easy question, and that I have just missed finding the answer.  Can you add other controls such as the RadTextBox to a RadRibbonBar?  I am using VS 2010 and each time I try to add between to the <Items> tags, it gives me an error:

Telerik.Web.UI.RibbonBarItemCollection must have items of type 'Telerik.Web.UI.RibbonBarItem'. 'telerik:RadTextBox' is of type 'Telerik.Web.UI.RadTextBox'

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello Nicholas,

RadRibbonBar can hold only controls of its domain ("RibbonBar" prefixed).
Currently, we plan on implementing a template for RadRibbonBarItems.

Do you know if the template support is likely to be implemented in the next major release or is it more of a long-term thing?
