IWbemClassObject::GetMethodOrigin method
The IWbemClassObject::GetMethodOrigin method is used to determine the class for which a method was declared.
This call is only supported if the current object is a CIM class definition. Method manipulation is not available from IWbemClassObject pointers which point to CIM instances.
Syntax
HRESULT GetMethodOrigin(
[in] LPCWSTR wszMethodName,
[out] BSTR *pstrClassName
);
Parameters
- wszMethodName [in]
-
Name of the method for the object whose owning class is being requested.
- pstrClassName [out]
-
Receives the name of the class which owns the method. The user must call SysFreeString on the returned BSTR when it is no longer required.
Return value
This method returns an HRESULT indicating the status of the method call. The following table lists the value contained within an HRESULT.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
The method did not exist. |
|
One or more parameters was not valid. |
|

Remarks
Because methods are inherited from class to class, it is often desirable to determine the owning class for a given method.
