SAPTreeView Object

Description

An SAP Gui for HTML application tree object.

IMPORTANT

OpenText Functional Testing can record selection and activation operations on any item in an SAPTreeView object. Although OpenText Functional Testing does not record expand and collapse operations, it can select and activate items in an SAPTreeView object during the test run, regardless of whether it is expanded or collapsed.

OpenText Functional Testing records the column (item header) only when necessary.

Operations

The sections below list the built-in methods and properties that you can use as operations for the SAPTreeView object.

Note: You can also view a list and descriptions of the SAPTreeView description properties, for use in object repository descriptions, programmatic descriptions, checkpoint and output value steps, and as argument values for the GetTOProperty and GetROProperty methods.
