List object methods and properties

Question

Is there any way to list available methods for created object in VBS?

For example:

Set IE = CreateObject(\"InternetExplorer.Application\")
         


        

Answer 1

While that is partially true, its incomplete.... Google, GetObjectText_, Methods_, & Propeties_

The referenced methods will only work on objects collected while connected to the cimv2 namespace of a remote host via the WbemScripting.SWbemLocator object. If this object has the ability to work on localhost, it's unapparent to me.

Once you do this you can query any of the classes held therein [Win32_Services,Win32_Drives, etc] and interrogate the objects in the resultset using a For-Next loop on the object like below...

For Each oProp in oObject.Properties_
    'be careful here because some propeties may be an object or an array.
    'so test for that here using "typename" or "vartype"
    wScript.Echo oProp.Name & vbTab & oProp
Next

Or...

For Each oMethod in oObject.Methods_
    wScript.Echo oProp.Name
Next

Finally, ...

For Each oProp in oObject.Properties_
   'This will display all of an objects properties
   oProp.GetObjectText_
Next
