Begins an enumeration of the methods available for the object.

Note

This API is for internal use only. It's not intended for use from developer code.

Syntax

HRESULT BeginMethodEnumeration (
   [in] int               vFunc,
   [in] IWbemClassObject* ptr,
   [in] LONG              lEnumFlags
);

Parameters

vFunc [in] This parameter is unused.

ptr [in] A pointer to an IWbemClassObject instance.

lEnumFlags [in] Zero (0) for all methods, or a flag that specifies the scope of the enumeration. The following flags are defined in the WbemCli.h header file, or you can define them as constants in your code:

Constant	Value	Description
`WBEM_FLAG_LOCAL_ONLY`	0x10	Limit the enumeration to methods that are defined in the class itself.
`WBEM_FLAG_PROPAGATED_ONLY`	0x20	Limit the enumeration to properties that are inherited from base classes.

Return value

The following values returned by this function are defined in the WbemCli.h header file, or you can define them as constants in your code:

Constant	Value	Description
`WBEM_E_INVALID_PARAMETER`	0x80041008	`lEnumFlags` is non-zero and is not one of the specified flags.
`WBEM_S_NO_ERROR`	0	The function call was successful.

Remarks

This function wraps a call to the IWbemClassObject::BeginMethodEnumeration method.

This method call is only supported if the current object is a class definition. Method manipulation is not available from IWbemClassObject pointers that point to instances. The order in which methods are enumerated is guaranteed to be invariant for a given instance of IWbemClassObject.
