Answer 1

You can use bar items in ribbon inside quick access toolbar (RibbonControl.ToolbarItemLinks property), page header (RibbonControl.PageHeaderItemLinks property) or inside page groups. Thus you should define a category, page and group to show bar item inside the ribbon. Note that you cannot put bar items into the page group directly so you should define it inside the BarManager.Items collection first.

<dxb:BarManager>
    <dxb:BarManager.Items>
        <dxb:BarEditItem x:Name="bEdit" EditValue="true" EditSettings="{dxe:CheckSettings}"/>
    </dxb:BarManager.Items>
    <dxr:RibbonControl>
        <dxr:RibbonDefaultPageCategory>
            <dxr:RibbonPage Caption="Home">
                <dxr:RibbonPageGroup Caption="First">
                    <dxb:BarItemLink BarItemName="bEdit"/>
                </dxr:RibbonPageGroup>
            </dxr:RibbonPage>
        </dxr:RibbonDefaultPageCategory>
    </dxr:RibbonControl>
</dxb:BarManager>

Answer 2

You have to create an RibbonPageCatogory first. Inside that element you can define the BarEditItem .

<dxb:RibbonPageCategory x:Name="category">
// Your elements here
</dxb:RibbonPageCategory>
