| I have been experimenting with the new Menu control.  When you define sub
| menu items an arrow automatically appears to the right to indicate that
| there are sub menu items.  The problem is what when you define a
horizontal
| menu and you increase the width of your menu bar so that the top level
menu
| items are separated a bit, the arrows are positioned far from the actual
| menu item and it does not look good.  When the menu is horizontal I wan
to
| position the arrows a specified number of pixels to the right of the end
of
| the menu.
|
| When the menu is vertical the arrows are positioned OK.

| Thanks.  This did help.
|
| Do you have any thoughts on how to implement rollovers with the menu even
if
| it requires creating a cutom control that is a subclass of the menu
class.
| I would like to be able to specify a rollover or hover image URL along
with
| the normal image URL and then have the server control generate the
| javascript to handle the rolloever (hover) effect.
