Our last new feature for version 2.6 is the ability to place any control inside the KryptonRibbon. This is great if you have a own custom control you need displaying or even just one of the standard windows forms controls.

Here we have some standard Button instances placed into a group.

Or some RichTextBox instances.

Finally some other standard controls.

At design time this works by adding a Custom Control element in the location you would like the control to be positioned. You then assign a reference to the actual control to be shown to the KryptonRibbonGroupCustomControl.CustomControl property.

Assignment can happen either at design time or more likely in the Load event of your Form. To ensure the control is the required width you should assign an appropriate size to the controls MinimumSize property. There will be sample in the next release that you can examine if you want to see the exact mechanism used.
