title: Setting the width of a menu in the Windows API
body: <p>I'm creating a custom control in wxWidgets that displays a menu as part of it, and currently working on the Windows side of things.  wxWidgets doesn't have a way of setting the width of a menu.  It just makes the window as wide as the longest string plus a few pixels on either side.</p>
  
  <p>In the API, there is a way to get the actual Windows API menu handle.  Does the Windows API have a method of setting the width of a menu other than just calculating it on its own based on the width of the string?</p>
