Example: sapgui_is_object_available

The following example uses sapgui_is_object_available to see if a grid is visible. If not, it clicks the expand button that displays it. After ensuring that the grid is visible the script can work with it.

sapgui_set_ok_code("/nme51n", LAST );

sapgui_send_vkey(ENTER, LAST );

// Store Grid ID in "ContainerObjectID" to make code more readable

lr_save_string("usr/subSUB0:SAPLMEGUI:0016/subSUB2:SAPLMEVIEWS:1100/subSUB2:SAPLMEVIEWS:1200/subSUB1:SAPLMEGUI:3212/cntlGRIDCONTROL/shellcont/shell",
    "ContainerObjectID");
	// Store expand button ID in "ButtonID"
	lr_save_string( "usr/subSUB0:SAPLMEGUI:0016/subSUB2:SAPLMEVIEWS:1100/subSUB1:SAPLMEVIEWS:4001/btnDYN_4000-BUTTON", "ButtonID");

// If the grid is not available, click the expand button

if ( !sapgui_is_object_available("{ContainerObjectID}", LAST))
        sapgui_call_method("{ButtonID}", 
            "press", 
            LAST );

// It is now certain that the grid is available.
