A nice example is there to use WMI in Powerbuilder that terminates a running process.
The same technique can be used to get SerialNumber of BaseBoard. I need to extend the same code to handle return values of the WQL query.
The WQL query i want to execute is:
SELECT Product, SerialNumber FROM Win32_BaseBoard
I can execute the query above but dont know how to save the SerialNumber in a variable after the ExecuteStatement() function is called.
Please take a look at the link for complete PowerBuilder code. How to terminate a process if it has specific folder name in its path?
Following is a portion of a sample code taken from the link above to show the function.
wsh = CREATE OleObject
wsh.ConnectToNewObject("MSScriptControl.ScriptControl")
wsh.Language = "VBScript"
wsh.AddCode(TheCode)
TRY
wsh.ExecuteStatement(FunctionName)
CATCH (RunTimeError Re01)
MessageBox("Query Error", "Following code has some problems.~r~n~r~n" + TheCode, StopSign!)
END TRY
wsh.DisconnectObject()
DESTROY wsh
The important function call wsh.ExecuteStatement(FunctionName)
What to do after that function call to set my PowerBuilder local variables with the returned SerialNumber of BaseBoard?
OLEObject ole_wsh
Any la_baseboard[]
string ls_message
ole_wsh = CREATE OLEObject
ole_wsh.ConnectToNewObject("MSScriptControl.ScriptControl")
ole_wsh.Language = "vbscript"
ole_wsh.AddCode('Function rtnBaseBoard()~r~n' &
+ 'DIM objBaseBoard(2)~r~n' &
+ 'strComputer = "."~r~n' &
+ 'Set objWMIService =' &
+ ' GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")~r~n' &
+ 'Set colItems =' &
+ ' objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT Product, SerialNumber FROM Win32_BaseBoard")~r~n' &
+ 'For Each objItem in colItems~r~n' &
+ 'objBaseBoard(0) = objItem.Product~r~n' &
+ 'objBaseBoard(1) = objItem.SerialNumber~r~n' &
+ 'Next~r~n' &
+ 'rtnBaseBoard = objBaseBoard~r~n' &
+ 'End Function')
la_baseboard[] = ole_wsh.Eval("rtnBaseBoard")
ole_wsh.DisconnectObject()
DESTROY ole_wsh
ls_message = "Product: " + string(la_baseboard[1]) + "~r~n" + &
+ "SerialNumber: " + string(la_baseboard[2]) + "~r~n"
MessageBox("Win32 BaseBoard",ls_message)
