Is it possible to right align an item on the menu so that it appears totally on the right side of menu strip? With the Status bar you can put a blank element with the property of spring and then items to the right will appear docked to the right side.
Thanks

Hi William,
Currently, RadMenuItems does not support the 'spring' feature. However, you can set the Location of the desired item so that it is placed on the far end of the RadMenu. You should do this in the RadMenu_SizeChanged event. I have demonstrated the approach in the sample project attached.
If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
Kind regards,

This doesn't seem to work in WIn10 Pro - I am developing on Win7 Pro and it does work, but when deployed to a WIn10 machine the menu item doesn't move until you actually resize the from width. And even to get it to work in WIn7 I had to catch the form_Shown event and resize the for - oh yeah, the menu is being created dynamically in the form.Load event because it has a radDropDown and radButton and a radCheckBox

Hi John,
Until the form is shown the menu items size is not updated. This is why you need to update the location when the form is shown. In addition, you can use the Margin instead of the location (the location will not trigger the proper layout events and this approach is valid for the old versions of the WinForms suite - before 2011). Here is an example:
I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.
