You know, it seemed like a simple thing to do in theory...

(Famous last words, I know)  All I wanted to do was to display the time in
the rightmost section of the menu bar.  I already had a 1 second timer to
keep time for other reasons (with an occasional check of the system clock 
to keep it reasonably in line) so I thought I'd use ctime to format the
current time and ModifyMenu () to display it.

The menu item was defined:

.
.
.
    MENUITEM "Mon Jan 11 12:00:00", IDM_DATE_TIME, HELP
.
.
.

and the ModifyMenu call went like this:

    char szDateTime [30];
    					  
    sprintf (szDateTime, "%.19s", ctime (&lCurrentTime));
    ModifyMenu (hMainMenu, IDM_DATE_TIME, MF_BYCOMMAND | MF_STRING, 
               IDM_DATE_TIME, szDateTime);
    
The result?  The initial, dummy date/time (jan 11 12:00:00) is displayed 
on the very right and stays there.  If I click on it, nothing happens.  If
I click just to the right of the last real main menu item, the current date/
time is displayed and doesn't change.  If I keep clicking, I get a "working"
clock.

    1 - Why doesn't the ModifyMenu () place the date/time all the way to the
        right like the initial, dummy date/time?
	
    2 - What do I have to do to actually force display the date/time after
        each ModifyMenu ()?
	
    3 - Is there a better way?
    
Thanks,
