Can I have a Help menu right-justified on the menubar (as it is in most standard applications)?

1 view (last 30 days)
I would like to have a help menu, specifically a UIMenu control with the Text "Help" on the far right side of my menu. It would have the About link as well as links to file bugs. I would like it on the right side of the menu because that is what is standard in most Windows applications. Is this possible?
I could probably do some hack where I put a really long blank, disabled UIMenu in between, but that won't scale and it's just ugly. Is this possible? Am I missing something obvious.

"... I would like it on the right side of the menu because that is what is standard in most Windows applications."
I don't see any such thing...If I look at any Windows app such as MS Office the Help menu is to the right, granted, but it's placed adjacent to all the rest, just the last one in the hierarchy -- unless some addin adds another which may actually cover it up (thus making the tight end ineligible since they're on the same line :) ).
What specific application(s) are you trying to mimic?

Hmm....I guess you're right. That's crazy. Maybe I'm living in a Windows XP world or something.
It does seem like the menus are awfully close together, but it's not a big deal. I can put spaces in there with no pain.
