When
Silk4J cannot record actions against an SAP control, you can record the actions with the recorder that is available in SAP and then dynamically invoke the recorded methods in a
Silk4J script. By doing so, you can replay actions against SAP controls that you cannot record.
Examples
For example, if you want to replay pressing a special control in the SAP UI, which is labeled
Test and which is a combination of a button and a list box, and selecting the sub-menu
subsub2 of the control, you can record the action with the recorder that is available in SAP. The resulting code will look like the following:
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlCONTAINER/shellcont/shell").pressContextButton "TEST"
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlCONTAINER/shellcont/shell").selectContextMenuItem "subsub2"
Now you can use the following code to dynamically invoke the methods
pressContextButton and
selectContextMenuItem in your script in
Silk4J:
.SapToolbarControl("shell ToolbarControl").invoke("pressContextButton", "TEST")
.SapToolbarControl("shell ToolbarControl").invoke("selectContextMenuItem", "subsub2")
Replaying this code will press the control in the SAP UI and select the sub-menu.
