Some translation help please

Up to now i have used either .NET libraries, or VBS to run WMI queries. But I wonder how feasible it is within WinDev itself.

For example, how can i translate the following VBS to Windev. eg. What must objEvents be defined as within Windev?
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\CIMV2")
Set objEvents = objWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery _
("SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_USBControllerDevice'")

Wscript.Echo "Waiting for events ..."
Do While(True)
Set objReceivedEvent = objEvents.NextEvent

'report an event
Wscript.Echo "New USB device event has occurred."

Loop

The C# equivalent im using is currently in the lines of :-
using System;
using System.Management;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WMISample
{
public class WMIReceiveEvent
{
public static void Main()
{
try
{
WqlEventQuery query = new WqlEventQuery(
"SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_USBControllerDevice'");

ManagementEventWatcher watcher = new ManagementEventWatcher(query);
Console.WriteLine("Waiting for an event...");

ManagementBaseObject eventObj = watcher.WaitForNextEvent();

Console.WriteLine("{0} event occurred.", eventObj["__CLASS"]);

// Cancel the event subscription
watcher.Stop();
return;
}
catch(ManagementException err)
{
MessageBox.Show("An error occurred while trying to receive an event: " + err.Message);
}
}
}

Hi Ben,

Not sure if I understand what you need entirely...

If it is any help I have a Windev WMI project that uses .net class (although from what you say, you may already have done this?)

Any WQL query works fine in it.

You can find it here [www.file-upload.net]

I don't know how to handle WMI event sinks or other events though..

Cheers

Sorry, URL was wrong. Try this [www.span-networks.co.uk]

Hi Bob,

Yes, i have my own set of .NET classes doing it. I was just wondering if some of it could be translated into Windev, so i only need to maintain one piece of code set.

Cheers

So I have to assume the above cannot be translated or make to work in Windev?
