Remarks

Use the HorizontalPadding property to control the amount of horizontal space around the text of the menu item to which the MenuItemStyle object is applied. This space is inserted between the left edge of the text and the border of the text area, and between the right edge of the text and the text's border. To control the vertical spacing, use the VerticalPadding property.
