The DeleteMetaFile function deletes a Windows-format metafile or Windows-format metafile handle.
Note This function is provided only for compatibility with Windows-format metafiles. Enhanced-format metafiles provide superior functionality and are recommended for new applications. The corresponding function for an enhanced-format metafile is DeleteEnhMetaFile.
BOOL DeleteMetaFile(
[in] HMETAFILE hmf
);
[in] hmf
A handle to a Windows-format metafile.
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero.
If the metafile identified by the hmf parameter is stored in memory (rather than on a disk), its content is lost when it is deleted by using the DeleteMetaFile function.
