  yes, you can, but limited to the version embedded in fastreport
  
  for example, in window forms:
  

          private void InitializeComponent()
          {
              ...
  
              this.DotNetBarButton = new FastReport.DevComponents.DotNetBar.ButtonItem();
              this.DotNetBarButton.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.DotNetBarButton_Click);
              this.PreviewControl1 = new FastReport.Preview.PreviewControl();
  
              ...
  
              //
              //DotNetBarButton
              //
              this.DotNetBarButton.ItemAlignment = FastReport.DevComponents.DotNetBar.eItemAlignment.Near;
              this.DotNetBarButton.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
              this.DotNetBarButton.Text = "Open Data";
              this.DotNetBarButton.ButtonStyle = FastReport.DevComponents.DotNetBar.eButtonStyle.ImageAndText;
              this.PreviewControl1.ToolBar.Items.Insert(1, DotNetBarButton);
  
              //
              //PreviewControl1
              //
              this.PreviewControl1.Anchor = (System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles)(((System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Top | System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Bottom)
                  | System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Left)
                  | System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Right);
              this.PreviewControl1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 45);
              this.PreviewControl1.Margin = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(5);
              this.PreviewControl1.Name = "PreviewControl1";
              this.PreviewControl1.PageOffset = new System.Drawing.Point(10, 10);
              this.PreviewControl1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1008, 477);
              this.PreviewControl1.TabIndex = 0;
              this.Controls.Add(this.PreviewControl1);
  
              ...
          }
          internal FastReport.Preview.PreviewControl PreviewControl1;
          internal FastReport.DevComponents.DotNetBar.ButtonItem DotNetBarButton;

  Thanks for that ipong but your code is how I can use the DevComponent controls (from fastreport) in MY application; what I want is how I can use the DevComponent directly INSIDE the reports, from here :
  
  in the following, "MyForm" should have the look and theme from DevComponent and what i have choosen in my main application.

  1. add a reference : FastReport.Bars.dll (menu Report=>Options=Script)
  2. add dialog form, with name = Form1
  3. in report script, create a wrapper for devcomponent, for example : button

    public class ReportScript
    {
      private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
        DotNetBarButtonControl button = new DotNetBarButtonControl();
        FastReport.DevComponents.DotNetBar.ButtonX properties = button.Button;
        properties.AccessibleRole = System.Windows.Forms.AccessibleRole.PushButton;
        properties.ColorTable = FastReport.DevComponents.DotNetBar.eButtonColor.OrangeWithBackground;
        properties.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
        properties.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);
        properties.Style = FastReport.DevComponents.DotNetBar.eDotNetBarStyle.StyleManagerControlled;
        properties.Text = "Click Me";
        properties.Click += new System.EventHandler(button_Click);
        Form1.Controls.Add(button);
      }
      
      private void button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
        MessageBox.Show("Hello World");
      }
    }
    
    public class DotNetBarButtonControl : FastReport.Dialog.DialogControl
    {
      private FastReport.DevComponents.DotNetBar.ButtonX _button;
      
      public FastReport.DevComponents.DotNetBar.ButtonX Button
      {
        get
        {
          return this._button;
        }
      }
      
      public DotNetBarButtonControl()
      {
        this._button = new FastReport.DevComponents.DotNetBar.ButtonX();
        base.Control = this._button;
      }
    }
  

  4. that's all, run it
