Syntax

FUNCTION DeleteMenu (BYVAL hMenu AS HMENU, BYVAL uPosition AS DWORD, BYVAL fByPosition AS BOOLEAN = FALSE) AS BOOLEAN
Also documented as RemoveMenu — one description covers them all.

Parameters

NameDescription
hMenuHandle to the menu that contains the menu item.
uPositionThe identifier or position of the menu to delete. The meaning of this parameter depends on the value of fByPosition.
fByPositionThe meaning of uPosition. If this parameter is FALSE, uPosition is a menu item identifier. Otherwise, it is a menu item position, where position = 0 for the first position, position = 1 for the second, and so on.

Return value

Returns TRUE if the function succeeds; FALSE otherwise.

Description

Deletes a menu or detaches a submenu from the specified menu. DeleteItem can also be used to delete menus.

Remarks

To remove menus use always the position and to remove drop-down menus use the identifier.

Example

CMenu.DeleteMenu(hMenu, 1, TRUE) ' Removes the second menu (zero-based position) CMenu.DeleteMenu(hMenu, IDM_POPUP) ' Removes the popup menu with the IDM_POPUP identifier
