IADsProperty Property Methods

The property methods of the IADsProperty interface read and write the properties described in the following table. For more information about property methods, see Interface Property Methods.

Properties

MaxRange

Upper limit of values.

Access type: Read/write

Scripting data type: LONG

// C++ method syntax
HRESULT get_MaxRange(
  [out] LONG* lnMaxRange
);
HRESULT put_MaxRange(
  [in] LONG lnMaxRange
);

MinRange

Lower limit of values.

Access type: Read/write

Scripting data type: LONG

// C++ method syntax
HRESULT get_MinRange(
  [out] LONG* lnMinRange
);
HRESULT put_MinRange(
  [in] LONG lnMinRange
);

MultiValued

Whether property supports single or multiple values.

Access type: Read/write

Scripting data type: VARIANT_BOOL

// C++ method syntax
HRESULT get_MultiValued(
  [out] VARIANT_BOOL* fMultivalued
);
HRESULT put_MultiValued(
  [in] VARIANT_BOOL fMultivalued
);

OID

Directory-specific object identifier.

Access type: Read/write

Scripting data type: BSTR

// C++ method syntax
HRESULT get_OID(
  [out] BSTR* bstrOID
);
HRESULT put_OID(
  [out] BSTR* bstrOID
);

Syntax

Relative path of syntax object.

Access type: Read/write

Scripting data type: BSTR

// C++ method syntax
HRESULT get_Syntax(
  [out] BSTR* bstrSyntax
);
HRESULT put_Syntax(
  [in] BSTR* bstrSyntax
);

Examples

The following code example examines the OperatingSystem attribute of a computer on a network through the WinNT provider.

Dim obj As IADs
Dim cl As IADsClass
Dim pr As IADsProperty
Dim sc As IADsContainer

On Error GoTo Cleanup
 
Set obj = GetObject("WinNT://myMachine,computer")
Set cl = GetObject(obj.Schema)
Set sc = GetObject(cl.Parent)
Set pr = sc.GetObject("Property","OperatingSystem")
 
MsgBox "Attribute:  " & pr.Name
MsgBox "Syntax:     " & pr.Syntax
MsgBox "MaxRange:   " & pr.MaxRange
MsgBox "MinRange:   " & pr.MinRange
MsgBox "Multivalued:" & pr.Multivalued

Cleanup:
    If (Err.Number<>0) Then
        MsgBox("An error has occurred. " & Err.Number)
    End If
    Set obj = Nothing
    Set cl = Nothing
    Set pr = Nothing
    Set sc = Nothing
