Hello all. I have a question about Win32 API menu definitions within .rc files.

How can you specify where you want the "popups" to appear on the menu bar? For example...

THE_MENU MENU
BEGIN
POPUP "&File"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "Load", FILE_LOAD
MENUITEM "Save", FILE_SAVE
MENUITEM "Exit", FILE_EXIT
END
POPUP "&Help"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "About", HELP_ABOUT
END
END

...will put the "Help" tab right by the "File" tab. How can I put it at the other end (right-side) of the menu bar? Does anyone know of a good resource for this type of information?

Have you looked at this yet: http://winprog.org/tutorial/menus.html

Yes, I have seen this. It does not have the information I am looking for. No one does.

Thank you, though.

Use the MENUEX resource specifier instead of MENU and then add in the MFT_RIGHTJUSTIFY flag as the type.
