WMI Core Provider

The WMI Core provider defines classes that compose the core functionality of WMI.

A majority of the WMI Core provider classes contain data supplied by the WDM Provider, and describe display monitors. The classes are defined in Wmi.mof and are located in the "Root\WMI" namespace.

Topic Description
MSMonitorClass
is an abstract WMI base class. The classes that describe video display monitors inherit from this MSMonitorClass.
MSMCA Classes
a set of WMI classes that expose the Machine Check Architecture (MCA). The System Abstraction Layer (SAL) provides all events reported in the MSMCA class. The Intel Corporation develops and owns the MCA.
FrequencyRangeDescriptor
represents a container for characteristics of a supported frequency range.
SupportedDisplayFeaturesDescriptor
represents the supported display features of the monitor.
VideoModeDescriptor
contains mode descriptor elements for the MonitorSourceModes array in the WmiMonitorListedSupportedSourceModes class.
WMIEvent
The WMIEvent class is a base class from which all WMI event classes are derived.
WmiMonitorAnalogVideoInputParams
represents the analog video input parameters of a computer monitor.
WmiMonitorBasicDisplayParams
represents the basic display features of a computer monitor.
WmiMonitorBrightness
represents the brightness parameters of a computer monitor.
WmiMonitorBrightnessEvent
represents a change in the brightness of a monitor.
WmiMonitorBrightnessMethods
contains methods that manage monitor brightness.
WmiMonitorColorCharacteristics
represents the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) color characteristics of a computer monitor.
WmiMonitorConnectionParams
contains the connection type of the monitor.
WmiMonitorDescriptorMethods
contains methods that obtain the raw content of Video Input Definition of Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA) Enhanced Extended Display Identification Data (E-EDID) v.1.x standard 128-byte data blocks.
WmiMonitorDigitalVideoInputParams
represents input parameters for digital video.
WmiMonitorID
represents the identifying information about a video monitor, such as manufacturer name, year of manufacture, or serial number.
WmiMonitorListedFrequencyRanges
lists the frequency ranges supported by the monitor.
WmiMonitorListedSupportedSourceModes
lists the supported source modes for a video monitor in its monitor descriptor, if any exist.
WmiMonitorRawEEdidV1Block
represents the raw data from a Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA) Enhanced Extended Display Identification Data (E-EDID) structure.
XYZinCIE
contains the coordinates of the display in the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) XYZ color space.
