Ergebnis: funktioniert nicht!

und über die Projekt-Optionen sollte
sichergestellt werden das diese auch in die Kompilation einbezogen ist

Project/Project Options/Files/mymenu.rc
->include in compilation

Muss man des auch bei dem mfc++ einstellen?
- weil es da auch nicht funktionierte

müsste eigentlich funktionieren
und loadmenu lässt du komplett weg.
