DestroyMenu function (winuser.h)
Destroys the specified menu and frees any memory that the menu occupies.
Syntax
BOOL DestroyMenu(
[in] HMENU hMenu
);
Parameters
[in] hMenu
Type: HMENU
A handle to the menu to be destroyed.
Return value
Type: BOOL
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
Before closing, an application must use the DestroyMenu function to destroy a menu not assigned to a window. A menu that is assigned to a window is automatically destroyed when the application closes.
DestroyMenu is recursive, that is, it will destroy the menu and all its submenus.
