I'm trying to change the title of MenuCells at run time, like this:

[menuCell setTitleNoCopy:"NewTitle"];

where the new title is longer than the old title. Clearly something must
be resized, such as in:

[[menuCell controlView] sizeToFit];

Unfortunately, this doesn't do it. This resizes the Matrix containing the
MenuCell, but doesn't resize its Menu, so the bezel gets overwritten and 
looks crappy. I tried following up the superview chain to find the Matrix's
Menu, but I ran into this thing that called itself a FrameView (undocumented)
which had no superview.

Menu has a sizeToFit method that will do what I want (apparently), but I
haven't found a reasonable way to invoke it, given only a pointer to a
MenuCell in an arbitrary submenu.

I must be missing something obvious. Can somebody help me out, or give me
an appropriate RTFM pointer?

Thanks,

Note that Menu inherits from Window, not View.

Just do:
	[[[menuCell controlView] window] sizeToFit];

or:
	[[sender window] sizeToFit];

if "sender" is the Menu's matrix, as is normally the case.
