## delete-command

Arguments: window-or-widget

Deletes an object from the specified window or widget if possible. Does not place anything onto the clipboard as copy-command and cut-command do.

window-or-widget should an instance of the `basic-pane`, `dialog-item`, or `screen` class or one of their subclasses.

This function behaves as copy-command does to pass its action to a child window, except that it calls delete-selection rather than copy-selection on the child window. See copy-command for more information.

Here is the default method for windows and the screen:

    (defmethod delete-command ((stream screen-stream))
      (let* ((child (selected-window stream)))
        (if* child
           then (delete-command child)
           else (delete-selection stream))))

In earlier releases, use of this operator was deprecated. It has now been restored to approved status.
