I've never built a context menu up to now, and I'm struggling a bit. I have 
made it work with the aid of the LC docs, but my popup doesn't look exactly 
like a conventional menu. I need to know which font, style and size are needed, 
and the exact spacing (the size of the underlying buttons and the text 
margins). As this is a cross-platform desktop app, I need to know these for 
both Mac and Windows. Here the LC docs don't help AFAICS. Of course I can do it 
by experiment but there are a heck of a lot of fonts.

Can anyone who's already done it tell me exactly how to configure context menus 
to look like native controls?

TIA

Graham

PS - the LC docs tell one to set the individual buttons' autoArm and armBorder 
properties to true. I had to do this with the LC Message Box because I couldn't 
find these properties in any other way. I naively thought that in LC 6.0.1 you 
can reveal (and therefore set) all properties of an object. Was I wrong?
