CB_DELETESTRING

  • Article

This message is sent by an application to delete a string in the list box of a combo box.

CB_DELETESTRING wParam = (WPARAM) index; 
  lParam = 0;

Parameters

  • index
    Specifies the zero-based index of the string to delete.
  • lParam
    Not used.

Return Values

A count of the strings remaining in the list indicates success. CB_ERR indicates that the index parameter specifies an index greater than the number of items in the list.

Remarks

If you create the combo box with an owner-drawn style but without the CBS_HASSTRINGS style, the system sends a WM_DELETEITEM message to the owner of the combo box so the application can free any additional data associated with the item.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 1.0 and later.
Header: Winuser.h.
