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);
Dim datePicker As DateTimePicker = New DateTimePicker()
Dim datePickerHost As RadHostItem = New RadHostItem(datePicker)
Me.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);
Dim radioButton1 As RadioButton = New RadioButton()
radioButton1.Text = "Option1"
radioButton1.Location = New Point(5, 5)
Dim radioButton2 As RadioButton = New RadioButton()
radioButton2.Text = "Option2"
radioButton2.Location = New Point(5, 25)
Dim panel As Panel = New Panel()
panel.Size = New Size(100, 60)
panel.Controls.AddRange(New Control() {radioButton1, radioButton2})
Dim hostItem As RadHostItem = New RadHostItem(panel)
Me.radRibbonBarGroup1.Items.Add(hostItem)
