Msvm_Keyboard class

Represents a keyboard device. Keyboards are logical devices that are always present in a virtual system, and thus are not allocated through a resource pool. One instance is always present in a virtual computer system.

The following syntax is simplified Managed Object Format (MOF) code, and it includes all of the inherited properties.

Properties

The Msvm_Keyboard class has these properties.

AdditionalAvailability

Data type: uint16 array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_LogicalDevice.Availability")

Any additional availability and status of the device, beyond that specified in the Availability property. The Availability property denotes the primary status and availability of the device. This property is inherited from CIM_LogicalDevice and it is always set to 6 (Not Applicable).

Availability

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Deprecated ("CIM_AssociatedPowerManagementService.PowerState", "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus", "CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.EnabledState"), MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|Operational State|006.5", "MIB.IETF|HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.hrDeviceStatus", "MIF.DMTF|Host Device|001.5"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_LogicalDevice.AdditionalAvailability")

This property is inherited from CIM_LogicalDevice but it is not used.

Caption

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)

A short textual description (one-line string) of the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement and it is always set to "Keyboard".

CreationClassName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Key, MaxLen (256)

The name of the class or subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with other key properties of the class, this property allows all instances of the class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified. This property is inherited from CIM_LogicalDevice and it is always set to "Msvm_Keyboard".

Description

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

A textual description of the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement and it is always set to "Microsoft Virtual Keyboard".

DeviceID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Key, MaxLen (64)

An address or other identifying information to uniquely name the logical device. This property is inherited from CIM_LogicalDevice and it is always set to "Microsoft:GUID".

ElementName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information. Note that the Name property of the CIM_ManagedSystemElement class is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of CIM_LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement and it is always set to "Keyboard".

EnabledDefault
