The input controls inside the KryptonRibbon support ButtonSpecs in the same way that they are provided in the standalone versions of the Toolkit.  Here you can see a ButtonSpec added to a far edge of text box and to the near edge of a combo box…

You could use this ability to turn a simple text box into a search/find box…

Or maybe as a shortcut for the user to ask for additional help. Or to bring up a dialog box for providing advanced settings. The uses are limitless and make it quick and easy for you to make it obvious the extra feature is associated with the input control.
