UIResourceMgr Class

Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2

The UIResourceMgr class, in Configuration Manager 2007, implements the IUIResourceMgr interface, which exposes the main functionality used by all user interface components to interact with software distribution agents. The class also uses the IUIResourceMgr3 interface, which accesses the ClientAgentSettings Class. The only portion of this interface that is implemented is IUIResourceMgr3::GetClientAgentSettings Method.

Remarks

The ProgID for the automation object is UIResource.UIResourceMgr and it is implemented as part of UIResource.dll. The Visual Basic reference for early binding is UIResource 1.0 Type Library. The early binding object name is UIResourceMgr.

This is the main class for interacting with the software distribution agent on a client. The main purpose of the class is to allow users to write applications to view the available optional programs on a client. Executing programs, however, is a bit more difficult. Because most of the class methods directly correlate with how the Run Advertised Program user interface works on a client, they do not translate well to SDK applications. If you want to execute programs with this class, you should use the IUIResourceMgr::ExecuteProgram Method method.
