WMI Code Generator
Version 5.00
| Use this HTA to generate Batch, C#, JScript, KiXtart, Object Rexx, Perl, PowerShell, Python, Ruby, VB .NET or VBScript code for menu selected WMI queries. |
 |
| First select a class. The "Properties" and "Methods" fields will show the names of the properties and methods available for the selected class. To get detailed information on a class or a method or property, select that class and method/property, and click the "Help" button. This will open an Internet Explorer window with the relevant MSDN page, or if that page doesn't exist, a list of Google Search results. Select a scripting or programming language from the drop-down list and click the "Generate Code" button to generate the code that will display all properties of the selected class, and their values, in the scripting or programming language of your choice. To test the selected query on your own computer, click the "Run WMI Code" button and wait for the result to appear on screen. Click "Generate Code" once more to redisplay the code in the selected scripting language. Then copy the code (or result) to the clipboard, and paste it into your favorite scripting editor. After some optional "pruning", save your own custom WMI script or program code. |
