LB_DELETESTRING (Compact 2013)

  • Article

3/28/2014

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

Syntax

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

Parameters

  • index
    Zero-based index of the string to be deleted.
  • lParam
    Not used.

Return Value

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

Remarks

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