VS 2008 MFC - Remove MFC handler

Question

Hi, How do you remove a MFC command handler like ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI from a C++ file? I can't seem to find a way to do it thru Dev Studio. If you know how, please explain.

I am using VS 2008.

Thanks, Mike

To create a handler, you used the drop-down list in the Messages list of the properties pane. When you didn't have a handler, the list had an entry something like <add> OnXxxUpdate. If you already have a handler, dropping down the same list will show a <delete> OnXxxUpdate -- click that. That just removes the entry in the message map -- you have to delete the function body manually.
