So there's NO way of implicitly setting the menu's width?  If that's
the case I may instead try using something like a listbox that is made
visible on a right-click.

Display the menu by calling its Popup method. You specify its 
coordinates there.

The width is determined entirely by the contents of the menu items.

If you call the TrackPopupMenu API function directly, you can give it a 
screen region in which it should not display itself. Use the bounds of 
the button as that region.
