The TileBarDropDownContainer can contain any control, including another TileBar control. You can regulate the view and behavior of this control using the TileBarDropDownOptions object.

TileBarGroup tileBarGroup = new TileBarGroup();
tileBar.Groups.Add(tileBarGroup);

button.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(510, 152);
button.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 22);

button.Click += button_Click;
RichEditControl richEditControl = new RichEditControl();

item.DropDownControl = ddContainer;
