SAP GUI (7.40) Scripting Changes Table UI

[former_member695387]

I am running into an issue where a UI changes, but I don't want it to change, while recording a script.

1. Without scripting: The specific window I bring up looks like it uses "System Defaults" for display.

2. With scripting recording: it looks like the "Dialog (modal)" display setting is turned on (found in Help -> Settings -> F4 Help).

Are there any registry keys or other settings I can use to disable UI changes while scripting? I already disabled "ShowNativeWinDlgs" but that had no effect.

This registry key has an equivalence checkbox in the SAP GUI settings, that the user can select or deselect... But as you say that it doesn't work, I guess it won't work either. Did you check SAP notes?

By the way, what is the problem of the UI of Value Help (F4) being changed?

Hello Wolfgang,

you want to realize that a person and a script interacts parallel on the same UI. In my opinion is this approach like one car with two drivers at the same time. If a script runs on a system where a user works parallel I recommend you to use the method LockSessionUI. When it is necessary that a user must take some inputs, the user should communicate with the script and not with the automated UI below.

Best regards
Stefan
