IWbemContext::SetValue method (wbemcli.h)

The IWbemContext::SetValue method creates or overwrites a named context value.

Syntax

HRESULT SetValue(
  [in] LPCWSTR wszName,
  [in] long    lFlags,
  [in] VARIANT *pValue
);

Parameters

[in] wszName

Cannot be NULL. It is a read-only pointer that indicates the context value name. This value must be null-terminated.

[in] lFlags

Reserved. This parameter must be 0 (zero).

[in] pValue

Must point to a valid VARIANT, which is treated as read-only. The value in the VARIANT becomes the named context value. An entire IWbemClassObject object can be stored as well as a simple value by enclosing it in a VARIANT that uses the VT_UNKNOWN type. The caller must execute QueryInterface on the IWbemClassObject object by asking for IID_IUnknown, and by using the returned pointer in the VARIANT.

If pValue is to contain an embedded IWbemClassObject object, the caller must call IWbemClassObject::QueryInterface for IID_IUnknown and place the resulting pointer in the VARIANT by using a type of VT_UNKNOWN. The original embedded object is copied during the write operation, and so cannot be modified by the operation.

Return value
