Hi there,

 

In the SAP Gui, there is a control called shell, which component in the Power automate desktop can I use to select a shell item and then double-click to go to the details?

    Hi @zmsoft ,

     

    Identify the Shell Item:
    First, identify the shell item you want to interact with. You can use the Get Details of SAP UI Element action to locate it within the SAP GUI.

    Select the Shell Item:
    Once you’ve found the shell item, use the Click action to select it. This simulates a left-click on the item.

    Double-Click:
    To double click SAP doesnt have direct action ,you can Click UI element in the window action.

    Hi @VishnuReddy1997 

     

    I tried to follow your instructions and found that I still couldn't choose a shell item.

    Try this activity - Click UI element in window uiautomation
    See if it works by hardcoding / selecting any single option.

     

    If it works, then you can make the selector dynamic based on the text. If the above option works, then this would definitely work.

    Hi @VishnuReddy1997 @pradeepvarma ,

     

    I have solved this issue by using scripting record in SAP, and then use VBScript action.
