Properties

Methods

The Msvm_SyntheticMouse class has these methods.

Method	Description
ClickButton	Performs a mouse click of the specified button. This is equivalent to calling SetButtonState twice, first to press the button, and again to release it.
EnableDevice	This method is not supported.
GetButtonState	Gets the current button state (up or down) of a specified button.
OnlineDevice	This method is not supported.
QuiesceDevice	This method is not supported.
RequestStateChange	Requests that the state of the element be changed to the value specified in the RequestedState parameter. This method is inherited from CIM_EnabledLogicalElement and returns 1 (Not Supported).
Reset	This method is not supported.
RestoreProperties	This method is not supported.
SaveProperties	This method is not supported.
SetAbsolutePosition	Sets the horizontal and vertical position of the mouse cursor.
SetButtonState	Sets whether the specified mouse button is currently pressed.
SetPowerState	This method is not supported.
SetScrollPosition	Changes the z-coordinate of the wheel control of the mouse. Values written to this property are always relative coordinate offsets.

Properties

The Msvm_SyntheticMouse class has these properties.

AbsoluteCoordinates

Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

Indicates whether the device operates on absolute coordinates. If not set, the device's coordinates are relative. This property is set to True.

AdditionalAvailability

Data type: uint16 array
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_LogicalDevice.Availability")

Any additional availability and status of the device, beyond that specified in the Availability property. The Availability property denotes the primary status and availability of the device. This property is inherited from CIM_LogicalDevice and it is always set to 6 (Not Applicable).

Availability

Data type: uint16
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Deprecated ("CIM_AssociatedPowerManagementService.PowerState", "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus", "CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.EnabledState"), MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|Operational State|006.5", "MIB.IETF|HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.hrDeviceStatus", "MIF.DMTF|Host Device|001.5"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_LogicalDevice.AdditionalAvailability")

This property is inherited from CIM_LogicalDevice but it is not used.

Caption

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)

A short textual description (one-line string) of the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement and it is always set to "Mouse".

CreationClassName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Key, MaxLen (256)

The name of the class or subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with other key properties of the class, this property allows all instances of the class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified. This property is inherited from CIM_LogicalDevice and it is always set to "Msvm_SyntheticMouse".

Description

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

A textual description of the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement and it is always set to "Microsoft Synthetic Mouse".

DeviceID

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Key, MaxLen (64)

An address or other identifying information to uniquely name the logical device. This property is inherited from CIM_LogicalDevice and it is always set to "Microsoft:GUID".

ElementName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information. Note that the Name property of the CIM_ManagedSystemElement class is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement and it is always set to "Mouse".
