DeleteMenu function

Deletes an item from the specified menu. If the menu item opens a menu or submenu, this function destroys the handle to the menu or submenu and frees the memory used by the menu or submenu.

  _In_ HMENU hMenu,
  _In_ UINT  uPosition,
  _In_ UINT  uFlags
);

MF_BYPOSITION 0x00000400L	Indicates that uPosition gives the zero-based relative position of the menu item.

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
