BcdObject class

Represents a BCD object that contains a collection of BCD elements. Each BCD object is identified by a GUID.

Syntax

class BcdObject
{
  string StoreFilePath;
  string Id;
  uint32 Type;
};

The BcdObject class has these types of members:

The BcdObject class has these methods.

Method	Description
DeleteElement	Deletes the specified element.
EnumerateElements	Enumerates the elements in the object.
EnumerateElementTypes	Enumerates the types of elements in the object.
GetElement	Gets the specified element.
GetElementWithFlags	Enumerates a qualified boot partition.
SetBooleanElement	Sets the specified Boolean element.
SetDeviceElement	Sets the specified device element.
SetFileDeviceElement	Sets the specified file device element.
SetIntegerElement	Sets the specified integer element.
SetIntegerListElement	Sets the specified integer list element.
SetObjectElement	Sets the specified object element.
SetObjectListElement	Sets the specified object list element.
SetPartitionDeviceElement	Sets the specified partition device element.
SetPartitionDeviceElementWithFlags	Sets the specified partition device element with additional flags.
SetQualifiedPartitionDeviceElement	Sets the specified qualified partition device element.
SetStringElement	Sets the specified string element.
SetVhdDeviceElement	Sets the specified virtual hard disk (VHD) device element.

The BcdObject class has these properties.

Id

The GUID of this object, unique to this store, in string form.

StoreFilePath

The full path to the store. If this parameter is an empty string (""), the method uses the system store.

Type

The object type. The upper 4 bits represent the object type. The meaning of the lower 28 bits varies with object type.

BCD_OBJECT_TYPE_APPLICATION (0x1rtaaaaa) is an object type for a boot environment application, functional usage of the application and the image type. The next four bits (24-27) are reserved, and the following four bits (20-23) specify the type of image (0x1=Firmware, 0x2=Boot, 0x3=Legacy Loader, 0x4=Real Mode code). The lowest 20 bits define the application type (0x1=Firmware boot manager, 0x2=Windows boot manager, 0x3=Windows boot loader, 0x4=Windows resume application, 0x5=Memory tester, 0x6=Legacy NtLdr, 0x7=Legacy SetupLdr, 0x8=Boot sector, 0x9=Startup module, 0xa=Generic application.)
BCD_OBJECT_TYPE_INHERITED (0x2nnnnnnn) describes a set of data elements which can be inherited from a BCD object for a boot application or from another inheritable object.

To retrieve an object instance, use one of the following static methods of the BcdStore class: CreateStore, OpenStore, or ImportStore.
