Is it possible to have a menuitem right align in a mainmenu control.
I have a number of menuitems left align and I want the help menuitem to be separated from the others.
I use vs2005 but for some reasons I don't want to use the menustrip control.
thanks
Would you mind letting us know those reasons? Maybe it's not the case here but it wouldn't be the first time someone thought that they couldn't do something with a particular class that they actually could.
Well, except this alignment problem the mainmenu control suits the application just fine and I have no reasons to convert all the menus and use a menustrip control. But if I cannot separate the Help menu from the others I will consider doing this.Quote:

Separators are the usual method of keeping items apart.
I have seen an application with the Help menu aligned right and, while I wouldn't say it looked unprofessional, I will say that it looked and felt odd and offered no advantage. I would recommend sticking with what is considered a standard Windows UI layout. Consistency is a good thing.
You guys are probably right.
thanks
