Menu Manager Routines / Disposing of Menus

DisposeMenu

To release the memory occupied by a menu's associated data structures, use either the DisposeMenu procedure or the Resource Manager procedure ReleaseResource.
Use DisposeMenu if you created the menu using NewMenu; use ReleaseResource if you created the menu using GetMenu or read the resource in using GetNewMBar.

You should delete the menu from the current menu list using DeleteMenu or ClearMenuBar before calling the DisposeMenu procedure.

theMenu

A handle to the menu record of the menu you wish to dispose of.
