I'm having trouble with a MenuBar that can (and commonly does) end up
being too short (horizontally) to display all of its items after the
user resizes its container, or new items are added to the menu. Adding
standard scrolling behavior doesn't seem to work very well (the
presence of the horizontal scrollbar makes the menu take up too much
space, and forces it to scroll vertically as well).

I'd really like to do one of two of two things:

1. When the menu becomes too small to display all items, it could
replace its rightmost item with an "arrow" item that shows all of the
hidden items in a submenu when clicked (I see this in a lot of desktop
applications).

2. Add "scroll left" and "scroll right" buttons on either end of the
menu that allow the user to scroll the menu left or right in order to
access hidden items (the buttons would behave similarly to the buttons
on either end of a standard scrollbar, but would be in line with the
menu items, instead of having a full scrollbar that appears below the
menu).

Can anyone suggest a way to implement either of these behaviors (or an
alternative)? Right now, I don't even see a good way to determine when
the MenuBar has become too small.
