When I add a new Top Level Menu item in the Resource Editor,
the modifications show up in the Resource Editor and I can see the addition
in IDM_MAIN_MENU MENU in the .rc file.
However, it does not regenerate the data under IDM_MAIN_MENU RCDATA
so it doesn't add the new top level item when I run the program.
I find that i can hand edit the IDM_MAIN_MENU RCDATA data, but I am wondering
if there is something I need to do to get it to regenerate the IDM_MAIN_MENU
data?

As an aside, I notice that the data is now stored in hex format instead of ID
strings as it was before. Was there a reason for this , or was it just more
convient for the Resource Compiler, since it was not really meant to be edited?

I am using VS 2005 Version 8.0.50214 beta2 (MARIOCH3-jabraham)
Net Framework Version 2.0.50215

If anyone knows a different forum to post this, that would be helpful too.

Thanks
