Object Editor dialog box

The Object Editor dialog box appears when you double-click a class or instance from the Query Result dialog box. The Object Editor dialog box also appears when you click Open Class or Enum Class on the Windows Management Instrumentation Tester dialog box.

You can use the Object Editor dialog box to:

  • Edit the qualifiers, properties, and methods for the selected class or instance.

  • View the MOF code that creates the class or instance.

  • View instances of the class, the derived classes, and the superclass of the class, if you are editing a class definition.

  • Refresh the view of the object after you make changes.

For example, when you click Open Class in the Windows Management Instrumentation Tester dialog box, and then type Win32_LogicalDisk in the Get Class Name dialog box, the Object Editor for Win32_LogicalDisk dialog box appears.

If you double-click any item in a list box, the appropriate editor opens for that object. For example, if you double-click the reset method in the methods list box, the method editor for the reset method appears.
