RemoveMenu

  • Article

This function deletes a menu item from the specified menu. If the menu item activates a pop-up menu, RemoveMenu does not destroy the pop-up menu or its handle, allowing the menu to be reused. Before RemoveMenu is called, the GetSubMenu function should retrieve the handle to the pop-up menu.

BOOL RemoveMenu(
  HMENU hMenu, 
  UINT uPosition, 
  UINT uFlags 
);

Parameters

  • hMenu
    [in] Handle to the menu to be changed.
  • uPosition
    [in] Specifies the menu item to be deleted, as determined by the uFlags parameter.
  • uFlags
    [in] Specifies how the uPosition parameter is interpreted. This parameter must be one of the following values.
    Value Description
    MF_BYCOMMAND Indicates that uPosition gives the identifier of the menu item. If neither the MF_BYCOMMAND nor MF_BYPOSITION flag is specified, the MF_BYCOMMAND flag is the default flag.
    MF_BYPOSITION Indicates that uPosition gives the zero-based relative position of the menu item.

Return Values

Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The application must call the DrawMenuBar function whenever a menu changes, whether or not the menu is in a displayed window.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 1.0 and later.
Header: Winuser.h.
Link Library: Menu.lib.
