How to make SAP Script/Macro run in background like xl macros

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a recorded sap script to run, but I can see all  the steps visible in the screen. Is there a  solution in SAP to set displayalerts or screenupdate as false like excel. I do not want the viewers to see the macro running in all steps. I tried iconify, but it works only for main screen, the child screen are still visible. Please help.

Thanks

Mercy

Hello.

In my knowledge there is no Option from SAP GUI Scripting.

When you run this from VBA you can use USER32-API function

Public Declare Function LockWindowUpdate Lib "user32" _
  (ByVal hwndLock As Long) As Long

Call function via public Sub:

Public Sub DisableScreenUpdating(xhWnd&)
  If xhWnd <> 0 Then LockWindowUpdate xhWnd
End Sub
Public Sub EnableScreenUpdating()
  LockWindowUpdate 0&
End Sub

And call this whenever you have a new handle during your script:

        Session.FindById("wnd[0]/usr/btn%_STAE1_%_APP_%-VALU_PUSH").Press
        DisableScreenUpdating Session.FindById("wnd[1]").Handle
        Session.FindById("wnd[1]/usr/tabsTAB_STRIP/tabpSIVA/ssubSCREEN_HEADER:SAPLALDB:3010/tblSAPLALDBSINGLE/ctxtRSCSEL_255-SLOW_I[1,0]").Text = "DLFL"
        Session.FindById("wnd[1]/usr/tabsTAB_STRIP/tabpSIVA/ssubSCREEN_HEADER:SAPLALDB:3010/tblSAPLALDBSINGLE/ctxtRSCSEL_255-SLOW_I[1,1]").Text = "INAC"
        Session.FindById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[8]").Press
        DisableScreenUpdating Session.FindById("wnd[0]").Handle
        Session.FindById("wnd[0]/usr/btn%_STRNO_%_APP_%-VALU_PUSH").Press
        DisableScreenUpdating Session.FindById("wnd[1]").Handle
        Session.FindById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[24]").Press
        Session.FindById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[8]").Press

When your script is completed call

EnableScreenUpdating

Of course People can get nervous at it seems like nothing happen. May they kill this session as they think it´s crashed.

Hope this help.
