Deletes menu items from the menu or a submenu within the menu.

Example

	menu reference is the reference to a menu bar in a VI or to a shortcut menu of a control. You can obtain this refnum with the Current VI's Menubar function or with the MenuRef event data field of menu events.
	menu tag specifies the submenu from which to delete items. If you do not specify menu tag, the function deletes all items from the menu.
	items can be a tag (string) of an existing item, an array of tags of existing items, a position index (zero-based integer) of an item in the menu, or an array of position indexes of items in the menu. The default is to delete all the items in the menu or submenu specified by menu tag. If any of the specified items have a submenu, the function deletes the submenu and all its contents. Use application item tags for menus or shortcut menus to delete application menu items. Because separators do not have unique tags, you can delete them using their positional indexes.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE. code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source specifies the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
	menu reference out returns menu reference unchanged.
	error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out front panel indicator and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.

Example

Refer to the Dynamic Delete Demo VI in the labview\examples\general\menubars.llb for an example of using the Delete Menu Items function.
