How to add a WinForms control to a RadRibbonBar Tab

[Dominik]

Hi,

 

I read your article "Adding a WinForms control to a Ribbon Bar" https://www.telerik.com/support/kb/winforms/details/adding-a-winforms-control-to-a-ribbon-bar

Is there also a simple way to add such a control in place of a RibbonTab.

 

Thank you in Advance

Kind Regards,
Dominik

Hello Dominik,

Yes, you can add control in the Children collection of RibbonTab by using a similar approach. The RadHostItem class allows you to add controls to elements. You can find more information on this topic here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/telerik-presentation-framework/elements/use-control-inside-an-element.

DateTimePicker datePicker = new DateTimePicker();
RadHostItem datePickerHost = new RadHostItem(datePicker);
this.ribbonTab1.Children.Add(datePickerHost);

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.
