You can now add the three new input controls to the KryptonRibbon. These new elements actually reuse the recently added KryptonTextBox, KryptonRichTextBox and KryptonComboBox controls from the Toolkit. Here is a picture of each of the three input controls in the disabled state…
And now in the enabled state…
Once the control receives focus, or if the mouse moves over it, then they change color to show they are active. Here you can see the combo box control becoming active as the mouse hovers over it…
Pressing the drop down button produces the expected result…
To modify the settings of the element you just need to click them at design time and the Properties tool window will show a large range of options, the same set of properties available when the controls are used standalone. There is also a property exposed, although not at design time, for getting direct access to the underlying control instance. So you can access the actual KryptonComboBox instance by using the ComboBox property of the appropriate ribbon element.

Another great adition to this amazing suite. Just wanted to say what a great job you are doing. I bought both the ribbon and the navigator last week. Im only using the toolkit atm but i think that your work should be rewarded properly.
I know you released 2.6.1 very recently but when can we expect a beta for the new version? And would it be possible for you to mail or post a roadmap for the next release so we can know what to expect?

If you go to the Forums and the Ribbon section there is a poll taking place that allows people to vote on the next Ribbon feature they would like. The next release will be around the end of the year, and so a beta some time before that..
