Well, you can't do this at all in C/C++. Or in any other language. There's no way to modify a running application - it's an OS restriction rather than something built into any development environment. I know several others have said this, but it won't hurt to hammer it home. OS9 lets you get away with it, but it's an anomaly and RR enforces the ban to maintain cross-platform consistency.
I agree you can't modify a running app as such but you can do things that make it look like you have modified it. I assumed that RunRev was doing something like that.
It doesn't really matter as long as there is a way of doing it. I have got a Test App that uses the Standalone/Stack model and that seems to save ok which is great. I will move this over to the main app tomorrow and hopefully should then be back in track.

Agreed. I think an example should be at least in the docs, considering how often it comes up.
Meanwhile check out Frederick Rinaldi's Preference Builder at:

Thanks for this Mark, I will take a look tomorrow.
