The item number of the menu item to delete. If you specify 0 or a number greater than the last item in the menu, DeleteMenuItem does not delete any item from the menu.

DESCRIPTION

The DeleteMenuItem procedure deletes a specified menu item from a menu. The DeleteMenuItem procedure also deletes the item's menu item entry from your application's menu color information table (if an entry exists). You should not delete items from an existing menu unless the user expects the menu (such as a menu that lists open documents) to change.
