Retrieving Amended Classes Using the COM API for WMI

  • Article

If you are using the COM API for WMI to retrieve or store localized class information, specify the locale in the strLocale parameter to the IWbemLocator::ConnectServer interface. When reading or writing amended classes, indicate that you want to use localized class definitions by specifying WBEM_FLAG_USE_AMENDED_QUALIFIERS as a flag for the iFlags parameter.

The following table lists the synchronous and asynchronous versions of the methods that use the WBEM_FLAG_USE_AMENDED_QUALIFIERS flag.

Synchronous Method Asynchronous Method
IWbemServices::CreateClassEnum IWbemServices::CreateClassEnumAsync
IWbemServices::CreateInstanceEnum IWbemServices::CreateInstanceEnumAsync
IWbemServices::ExecQuery IWbemServices::ExecQueryAsync
IWbemServices::GetObject IWbemServices::GetObjectAsync
IWbemServices::PutClass IWbemServices::PutClassAsync
IWbemServices::PutInstance IWbemServices::PutInstanceAsync
