Get SAP ID of focussed element

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by martvis 71

Hello everyone, 

 

I'm trying to figure out how to extract the SAP ID of the focussed element which is selected after - for example - a search action within SAP ECC 800. 

 

I use the VBScripting commands to direct my Flows within SAP; in which I regularly use commands like below to extract the system bar status and identified fields, but would like to know how to extract the focussed field (value and/or ID) as well. 

 

WScript.Echo session.findById("wnd[0]/sbar").Text
 
Looking forward to the responses!

    Focused element ID:

    Dim ActID
    ActID = session.ActiveWindow.GuiFocus.ID
    WScript.Echo ActID

    Focused element value:
    Dim ActElemtValue

    ActElemtValue = session.ActiveWindow.GuiFocus.Text

    WScript.Echo ActElemtValue

    You can directly do that using the newly released PAD activity:
    Get details of SAP UI Element

     

    If it works for you, kindly mark it as a solution.
