The RemoveMenu function deletes a menu item or detaches a submenu from the specified menu. If the menu item opens a drop-down menu or submenu, RemoveMenu does not destroy the menu or its handle, allowing the menu to be reused. Before this function is called, the GetSubMenu function should retrieve the handle to the drop-down menu or submenu.
BOOL RemoveMenu(
HMENU hMenu, // handle to menu
UINT uPosition, // menu item identifier or position
UINT uFlags // menu item flag
);
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
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. |
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
The application must call the DrawMenuBar function whenever a menu changes, whether or not the menu is in a displayed window.
