Troubleshooting – SAP integration

The button control supports one navigate action 'Press'. The bounds and text can be obtained using read actions. This control cannot be written to.

The standard checkbox control supports reading and writing of the value.

The combobox item can be selected by index or name using the 'Select Item' action. The number of items can be read using a read stage. The selected text can be read, and the full list of items in the combobox can be read using 'Get All Items'.

The gridview supports reading the entire contents of the grid into a collection. Only text-based values will be present – columns containing icons or similar will come out empty.

The label control supports getting the text via a read stage.

A quirk in the SAP GUI Scripting API means that these can only be spied when the main SAP window is maximised, although they function normally once spied regardless of maximised state. They support selecting a menu item by path, as for other application types – an example path would be "{File}{Save}".

The sap scrollbar supports Get Max Value, Get Value and Get Min Value with read stages, a Set Value navigate action, and a write that also sets the value.

The sap scrollbar container is supported with a similar set of actions to a SAP Scrollbar. The difference being that each action comes in a Horizontal and Vertical flavour, and there is no write-stage capability.

The ok code field is a special combo/text entry box that sits in the toolbar and allows transaction codes like "SU11" to be entered. Entering a code takes the user to a destination within the application. Setting the text on the ok code field using a write stage is supported. Pressing the Enter key has to be simulated to activate it.

The SAP password field can be written to using a write stage.

The sap radiobutton can be written to and selected. The text and the current state can also be read. Note that when writing, the value cannot be set to False. As this would break the radio setting. Attempting to set the value to false raises an exception.

The table control supports reading the entire contents of the table into a collection. Only text-based values will be present – columns containing icons or similar will come out empty.

The sap tab control represents an individual tab within a tab strip. These can be spied directly, and a Select action is available to select the tab.

The tabstrip control is the parent for a group of tabs. It can't be spied directly, but can be selected from the model. Selecting an item by name works.

A standard edit field. Reading and writing is supported.

The ctextfield controls is the same as a textfield, except it has an added combo button to access recently used entries.
