Right-Justify Menu
How can I right-justify a menu in VB 5?
MorFF:
You should have submitted this as an answer. It indeed works. Although there is some space still on the right (which is reserved for the shortcut keys.)

My menu is a toplevel, dropdown menu (created with VB built-in menu editor).
I've tried this code but still nothing happens.
Private Sub Form_Load()
mnuHelp.Caption = Chr$(9) & "Help"
End Sub

polygon,
sorry, sent you down the wrong path there. Try this;
Form1.help.caption = chr$(8) + form1.help.caption
Should work! - MorFF ;-)

polygon, If you still need help whould you clue me in as to what you mean by right- justified. I tried the code offered and it worked for me.
VB 5 supports something called bidirectional features that is if you are using a bidirectional Windows with bidirectional languge like arabic or hebrew to write from right to left all you have to do is to enable the RightToLeft prperty (Form1.RightToLeft = True)
now when you use any control over this form it will be supporting right to left, even the menues will be displayed from right to left.
this is how i understood your problem , i hope this will help you.
regards.

SorRy,
I don't think English is a bidirectional language.
The only thing I want is my Help menu to go to the right (below the minimize, maximize, close buttons).

Try putting a tab Chr$(9) in front of the text you want to justify. It works for the top level drop down menu's. (like putting the help menu on the right)
I don't want to lock up you question as I've not tried it. If it works, let me know and I'll submit it as an answer1
