I am trying to add a menu item to the far right of the menu bar in my program using API.
What can I add to my code below or to my '.h' file to have a menu item displayed on the extreme right?
Really Hoping SOMEONE/ANYONE can help :) Thanks!

the following code is from the '.rc' file

#include "edp8.h"

edp8 MENU
BEGIN
POPUP "&Modules"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "&Save Details", IDM_SAVE
END
MENUITEM "&Exit", IDM_EXIT
END
 
A few silly ideas

1) try a very big right justified menu button.
2) Use rebars and position the help on a second rebar which is on the right
3) Position a button at the end and attach it to the frame. If you specify no borders then it will look like a menu item instead of a button.

It is basically something that the Unix systems (Motif in particular) but have but I haven't seen it implemented on Windows systems. I think QT ( also to a help button on the right.
