Method and Property Functions

    int sapgui_get_property_of_active_object( const char *property_name, const char *output_param_name, [args,] LAST );

property_name | The name of the SAP GUI Object Properties to retrieve
output_param_name | The VuGen parameter containing the property of the object
args | Optional Arguments
LAST | A marker indicating the end of the argument list. Not required if Optional Arguments are used.

The sapgui_get_property_of_active_object data retrieval function retrieves the value of the specified property property_name from the current active object. The value is saved in output_param_name.

The current object is selected with sapgui_active_object_from_parent_method or sapgui_active_object_from_parent_property.

Note that if the property is a set of strings, output_param_name contains the parameter in the form string1,string2,...,stringn.

## Return Values

This function returns LR_PASS (0) on success or LR_FAIL (1) on failure.

## Parameterization

You can parameterize all string (char type) arguments.

## Example

The following example uses sapgui_active_object_from_parent_method to select the 5th row within a table. The row's selected property is then set to true using sapgui_set_property_of_active_object. sapgui_get_property_of_active_object then verifies the value of the selected property.

    Action() {

        // Connect to R/3 server, and log on

        sapgui_open_connection("My Connection", "con[0]");
        sapgui_select_active_session("ses[0]");
        sapgui_logon("MyUserName", "MyPassword", "800", "EN", LAST );
        sapgui_select_active_window("wnd[0]");

        // Selecting 5-th row on "Basic personal data" tab

        sapgui_set_property(
            "shellcont/shell/shellcont[0]/shell/shellcont[1]/shell[1]",
            "HierarchyHeaderWidth", "251", LAST );

        sapgui_active_object_from_parent_method(
    	"usr/tabsMENU_TABSTRIP/tabpTAB01/ssubSUBSCR_MENU:SAPMP50A:0400/subSUBSCR_ITMENU:SAPMP50A:0310/tblSAPM/P50ATC_MENU",
    	 "getAbsoluteRow", "5", LAST );
    	 sapgui_set_property_of_active_object("selected", "True",
            LAST );

        // Now verify the set property

        sapgui_get_property_of_active_object("selected",
            "ParamName2", LAST );

        lr_output_message(lr_eval_string("Status bar text = {ParamName2}"), LAST );
        return 0;
    }
