DWbemClassObject.GetPropertyOrigin

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The DWbemClassObject.GetPropertyOrigin method gets the name of the class in which a particular property was introduced. For classes with deep inheritance hierarchies, it is often desirable to know which properties were declared in which classes. If the object does not inherit from a parent class, the current class name is always returned.

  [out] strClassName  As String
