Ribbon Command Search

You can easily add the command search to the Ribbon Main panel, and the user can find and invoke the required command in seconds, without looking through all ribbon tabs.

Alternatively (if you're using the Ribbon Backstage view, not the Main Panel), you may add a command search box to the top of the Ribbon (Office 2016-2024-like "Tell Me").

Office 2022-like "Tell Me":

Sample code:

// Enable Ribbon "Tell me":
m_wndRibbonBar.EnableCommandSearch();

// Enable Ribbon Main panel command search:
CBCGPRibbonMainPanel* pMainPanel;
pMainPanel->EnableCommandSearch(
    TRUE, _T("Start Search"), _T("Q"), 
    200 /* Width */);
