Hi folks,

I'm displaying an NSMenu when my NSButton subclass is clicked, using -[NSMenu +popUpContextMenu:...]. The menu displays at normal size, i.e. the text of the items is the same size as the text in the > menubar.

I'd like my menu to look the same way that an NSPopUpButton's menu does when the NSPopUpButton is set to "small", i.e. using the small system font. Is that possible? I don't see any NSMenu or NSMenuItem methods related to font or size, and calling NSControl's -setControlSize: method on my NSButton has no effect on its menu (nor would I expect it to).

You might not like my solution... but it is not so silly

create a NSPopUpButton
make it small
make a copy of its menu
release the pop up button

you end with a small menu...

Just tried this as I'm also interested by a solution to this. It's not working.

1) If you remove the NSPopUpButton, when you display the Menu in the over view, the Application crashes as if someone was doing a dealloc on the NSMenu instead of a release
2) If you keep the NSPopUpButton, when you display the menu in the NSButton, the labels are big. Then if you click on the NSPopUpButton, the labels are small the next time you display the menu of the NSButton.

This leads to make me think the "smallification" of the menu labels is done in the method to draw the PopUp Menu of PopUpButton not before.
