Wmimofck task
The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) provides the Wmimofck task so you can run the wmimofck.exe tool when you build a driver using MSBuild.
For information about using the Wmimofck tool, see Using Wmimofck.exe.
MSBuild uses the Wmimofck item to send the parameters for the Wmimofck task. The item metadata for wmimofck is accessed using the Wmimofck item in project files.
The following example shows how to edit metadata in the .vcxproj file.
<ItemGroup>
<Wmimofck Include="a.bmf">
<GenerateStructureDefinitionsForDatablocks>true</GenerateStructureDefinitionsForDatablocks>
</Wmimofck>
<Wmimofck Include="b.bmf">
<HeaderOutputFile>b.h</HeaderOutputFile>
</Wmimofck>
</ItemGroup>
The following example shows how you run Wmimofck.exe in a Command Prompt window:
Wmimofck.exe -u a.bmf
Wmimofck.exe –h"b.h" b.bmf
The example above invokes wmimofck.exe on both a.bmf and b.bmf, but with different sets of parameters and with different metadata. Therefore, the switches will also be different for these inputs. In other words, you can call each input with its own set of metadata.
| Wmimofck Task Parameter | Item Metadata | Tool Switch |
|---|---|---|
| Source
Required ITaskItem parameter. Specifies the input source file. |
@(Wmimofck) | |
| GenerateStructureDefinitionsForDatablocks
Optional Boolean parameter. Wmimofck generates member definitions for every property that has a fixed size, including optional properties that specify a MaxLen qualifier. |
%(Wmimofck.GenerateStructureDefinitionsForDatablocks) | -u |
| GenerateStructureDefinitionsForMethodParameters
Optional Boolean parameter. The header file includes structure definitions for the input and output of each WMI method. |
%(Wmimofck.GenerateStructureDefinitionsForMethodParameters) | -m |
| HeaderOutputFile
Optional string parameter. Generates a C language header file (.h file) that can then be used to keep the header file in sync with MOF definitions. |
%(Wmimofck.HeaderOutputFile) | -hFilename |
| HexdumpOutputFile
Optional string parameter. Generates a Hex version of .bmf data that can be included in the driver source for supplying dynamic MOF data at run time. |
%(Wmimofck.HexdumpOutputFile) | -xFilename |
| HTMLUIOutputDirectory
If this is set to true, it generates the -w switch. |
%(Wmimofck.HTMLUIOutputDirectory) | |
| HTMLOutputDirectory
Optional string parameter. Specifies the directory for the HTML files that Wmimofck generates. |
%(Wmimofck.HTMLOutputDirectory) | -wDirectory |
| MFLFile
Optional string parameter. Specifies a file containing amended classes. |
%(Wmimofck.MFLFile) | -zMFLFile |
| MinimalRebuildFromTracking
Optional Boolean parameter. If true, a tracked incremental build is performed; if false, a rebuild is performed. |
%(Wmimofck.MinimalRebuildFromTracking) | |
| MOFFile
Optional string parameter. Specifies a file containing language-independent WMI class declarations. |
%(Wmimofck.MOFFile) | -yMOFFile |
| SourceOutputFile
Optional string parameter. Generates a C language source file which contains stubs for WMI driver code. |

Optional string parameter. |
$(WmimofckTrackerFrameworkPath) | |
| TrackerSdkPath
Optional string parameter. |
$(WmimofckTrackerSdkPath) | |
| VBScriptTestOutputFile
Optional string parameter. A VBScript program is created that will query all data blocks and properties specified in the MOF file. |
