Parameters

index

Zero-based index of the string to be deleted.

Return Values

A count of the strings remaining in the list indicates success. LB_ERR indicates that the indexparameter 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_DELETEITEMmessage to the owner of the list box so the application can free any additional data associated with the item.
