Xceed Grid for WinForms v4.3 Documentation
WinButton controls can be added to the WinTextBox control using the SideButtons property. These buttons can only be docked to the left or right (default) of the WinTextBox control. For example, in the image below, 3 WinButton controls are added to the textbox control's SideButtons collection. For the purposes of this example, the buttons do not actually perform an action.

The WinButton controls that are added to the WinTextBox control using the SideButtons property are also added to, and can be accessed via, the control's Controls collection.
WinButton controls can be added to the left or right of the WinTextBox control's TextBoxArea via the SideButtons property. Other controls can be added to the WinTextBox control using its Controls collection. By default, any controls that are added to the WinTextBox control will be docked to the right of the WinTextBox control. However, the Dock property can be changed to any value other than DockStyle.None.
For example, in the image below, a WinCheckBox control was added to the bottom of a WinTextBox control to enable/disable the WinTextBox's TextBoxArea.
