CIM_VideoBIOSFeature class

The CIM_VideoBIOSFeature class represents the capabilities of the low-level software used to configure and access a computer system's video controller and display.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of its inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

• Properties

Properties

The CIM_VideoBIOSFeature class has these properties.

Caption

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64), DisplayName ("Caption")

Short textual description of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

CharacteristicDescriptions

Data type: string array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ArrayType ("Indexed"), MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|Video BIOS Characteristic|001.4"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_VideoBIOSFeature.Characteristics")

Free-form strings that provide detailed descriptions for the video BIOS features indicated in the Characteristics array.

Note

Each entry of this array is related to the entry in the Characteristics array that is located at the same index.

Characteristics

Data type: uint16 array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ArrayType ("Indexed"), MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|Video BIOS Characteristic|001.3"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_VideoBIOSFeature.CharacteristicDescriptions")

Features supported by the video BIOS. For example, support for VESA power management or video BIOS shadowing could be indicated. The value 3 ("Unknown") is not valid in the CIM schema since it represents that no BIOS features are supported in DMI. In which case, the object should not be instantiated.

Other (1)

Unknown (2)

Undefined (3)

Standard Video BIOS (4)

VESA BIOS Extensions Supported (5)

VESA Power Management Supported (6)

VESA Display Data Channel Supported (7)

Video BIOS Shadowing Allowed (8)

Video BIOS Upgradeable (9)

Remarks

The CIM_VideoBIOSFeature class is derived from CIM_SoftwareFeature.

WMI does not implement this class.

This documentation is derived from the CIM class descriptions published by the DMTF. Microsoft may have made changes to correct minor errors, conform to Microsoft SDK documentation standards, or provide more information.
