Creating and Using Custom Views of Instances

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

You can create and display custom views of class instance data. For more information, see the example screen in Displaying Custom Views of Object Data.

    To create a custom view of class instance data

1. Write an ActiveX™ control that defines the format for the data display.
2. Associate that view with the class definition by using a new custom view instance.

After you have created a custom view and have associated it with a class instance, selecting that instance in the Class Viewer activates the Views button. Click the Views button. Choose the view you want from the list that appears, andthen click OK.

The WBEM SDK samples directory <drive>:\<Wbem-directory>\sdk\com\CustomViews contains files and instructions for creating a sample custom view.
