Well, I did not mention: there are 2 sets of .NET API available to create ribbon menu items with code. The link I provided uses the set of API from acCui.dll, involving loading CUI. update it and save it.

You can also use the set of ribbon manipulating API from AdWindow.dll, where you can create or update ribbon menu item. To the question you asked (slideout portion of a RibbonPanel and a DialogBoxLauncher button at the lower right corner), you can simply look at RibbonPanelSeparator class and RibbonPanelSource.DialogBoxLauncher property.
