# DeleteTableCellRangeRingItems

int DeleteTableCellRangeRingItems (int panel, int control, Rect cellRange, int index, int numItems);

## Purpose

Deletes one or more items from the list of values of a specified range of ring or combo-box cells of a table control.

The indexes of the remaining values beyond the specified index are decreased by numItems .

## Parameters

Input
Name | Type | Description
panelHandle | integer | Specifier for a particular panel that is currently in memory. You obtain this handle from LoadPanel, NewPanel, or DuplicatePanel.
controlID | integer | The defined constant, located in the .uir header file, that you assigned to the control in the User Interface Editor, or the ID returned by NewCtrl or DuplicateCtrl.
cellRange | Rect | A Rect structure specifying the range of cells from which you want to remove the values. The cells in the specified range must be of type VAL_CELL_RING, or VAL_CELL_COMBO_BOX, or a mixture of the two. If the range includes cells of any other type, an error is returned and the results are unspecified. The Rect structure is defined as follows: typedef struct { int top; int left; int height; int width; } Rect; Pass the one-based row and column indices of the first cell in the range as the top and left fields of the structure, respectively. Pass the number of columns in the range as the width field of the structure, and the number of rows in the range as the height field of the structure. You can create a Rect without having to declare a variable by using the following function: Rect MakeRect (int top, int left, int height, int width); Example DeleteTableCellRangeRingItems (panelHandle, controlID, MakeRect (2, 3, 5, 5), 1, -1);
index | integer | The zero-based index of the first item to delete from the list of values This index must be valid for every cell in the specified range. If it is not valid for one or more cells, an error is returned and the results are unspecified.
numItems | integer | The number of items to delete. To delete all items from Index to the end, enter –1.
