IWbemClassObject::GetObjectText

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The IWbemClassObject::GetObjectText method returns a textual rendering of the object. Currently, only Managed Object Format (MOF) syntax is supported as an output format. Notice that the MOF text returned does not contain all the information about the object, but only enough information for the MOF compiler to be able to re-create the original object. For instance, no propagated qualifiers or parent class properties are displayed.

HRESULT IWbemClassObject::GetObjectText(
  [in] Long lFlags,
  [out] BSTR *pbstrObjectText
);
 

Parameters

lFlags

Reserved. It must be set to zero.

pbstrObjectText

This must point to NULL on entry. This parameter receives a newly allocated BSTR that was initialized with SysAllocString. The caller must call SysFreeString on the pointer when the string is no longer required. This pointer points to a MOF syntax rendering of the object upon return from the call. Since this is an OUT parameter, the pointer must not previously point to a valid string, since the pointer is not be deallocated.
