The GetObjectText_ method of the SWbemObject object returns a textual rendering of the object. This object can be used to display an object's contents. Currently, only the MOF syntax is supported as an output format. Notice that the MOF text returned does not contain all the information about the object; the MOF text contains only enough information for the MOF compiler to be able to recreate the original object. For instance, there is no information about the propagated qualifiers or the parent class properties.

The following syntax is language-neutral. For an explanation of this syntax, see Document Conventions for the Scripting API.

Syntax

strMofText = GetObjectText_(
  [ iFlags = 0 ]
)

Parameters

iFlags [in, optional]

Reserved and must be 0 (zero) if specified.

If successful, this method returns a string that contains the output text.
