Function
Removes from a hash table any element that matches a search key.
Syntax
#include <dx/dx.h>
Error DXDeleteHashElement(HashTable hashtable, Key searchKey)
Functional Details
If a hash function was provided at the time the hash table was created, then that function will be used to derive a pseudokey from searchKey. If a hash function was not provided, then the first long integer word of searchKey is assumed to be the pseudokey.
If more than one element is stored under that pseudokey (possibly only if a compare function was provided at the time the hash table was created), then that compare function will be used to delete only that element that matches searchKey.
Key is defined as:
typedef Pointer Key;
Return Value
Always returns OK.
