The RemoveMenu function deletes a menu item 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 of the drop-down menu or submenu.
BOOL RemoveMenu(
| HMENU hMenu, | // handle of menu |
| UINT uPosition, | // menu item identifier or position |
| UINT uFlags | // menu item flag |
| ); |
Parameters
hMenu
Identifies the menu to be changed.
uPosition
Specifies the menu item to be deleted, as determined by the uFlags parameter.
uFlags
Specifies how the uPosition parameter is interpreted. This parameter must be one of the following values:
| 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. |
Return Values
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.
Remarks
The application must call the DrawMenuBar function whenever a menu changes, whether or not the menu is in a displayed window.
