WBEM_COMPARISON_FLAG enumeration (wbemcli.h)

  • Article

Contains flags that define the comparison to perform when using the IWbemClassObject::CompareTo method.

Syntax

typedef enum tag_WBEM_COMPARISON_FLAG {
  WBEM_COMPARISON_INCLUDE_ALL = 0,
  WBEM_FLAG_IGNORE_QUALIFIERS = 0x1,
  WBEM_FLAG_IGNORE_OBJECT_SOURCE = 0x2,
  WBEM_FLAG_IGNORE_DEFAULT_VALUES = 0x4,
  WBEM_FLAG_IGNORE_CLASS = 0x8,
  WBEM_FLAG_IGNORE_CASE = 0x10,
  WBEM_FLAG_IGNORE_FLAVOR = 0x20
} WBEM_COMPARISON_FLAG;

Constants

 
WBEM_COMPARISON_INCLUDE_ALL
Value: 0
Compare all features.
WBEM_FLAG_IGNORE_QUALIFIERS
Value: 0x1
Ignore all qualifiers (including Key and Dynamic) in comparison.
WBEM_FLAG_IGNORE_OBJECT_SOURCE
Value: 0x2
Ignore the source of the objects, namely the server and the namespace they came from, in comparison to other objects.
WBEM_FLAG_IGNORE_DEFAULT_VALUES
Value: 0x4
Ignore default values of properties. This flag is only meaningful when comparing classes.
WBEM_FLAG_IGNORE_CLASS
Value: 0x8
Assume that the objects being compared are instances of the same class. Consequently, this flag compares instance-related information only. Use this flag to optimize performance. If the objects are not of the same class, the results are undefined.
WBEM_FLAG_IGNORE_CASE
Value: 0x10
Compare string values in a case-insensitive manner. This applies both to strings and to qualifier values. Property and qualifier names are always compared in a case-insensitive manner whether this flag is specified or not.
WBEM_FLAG_IGNORE_FLAVOR
Value: 0x20
Ignore qualifier flavors. This flag still takes qualifier values into account, but ignores flavor distinctions such as propagation rules and override restrictions (for more information, see
Qualifier Flavors).
