Decrements the reference count of a string buffer.
Syntax
HRESULT WindowsDeleteString(
HSTRING string
);
Parameters
string
Type: [in] HSTRING
The string to be deleted. If string is a fast-pass string created by WindowsCreateStringReference, or if string is NULL or empty, no action is taken and S_OK is returned.
Return value
Type: HRESULT
This function always returns S_OK.
Remarks
Use the WindowsDeleteString function to de-allocate an HSTRING. Calling WindowsDeleteString decrements the reference count of the backing buffer, and if the reference count reaches 0, the Windows Runtime de-allocates the buffer.
