SAPGuiTabStrip Object
Description
A tab strip in an SAP GUI for Windows application.
IMPORTANT
There may be cases where a running test or component needs to find an object in a tab strip that is not currently selected. In such a case, OpenText Functional Testing finds the correct tab strip in which the object is located, selects that tab strip, and activates the object. Then the test or component continues to run. A comment that summarizes this automatic selection of the correct tab strip will appear in the results.
