SAP GUI Scripting Changes Between SAP GUI 7.40 PL 5 and PL7

Hello community,

since four days offers SAP a new patch level of the SAP GUI for Windows. With this patch level 7 SAP offers also a new version of the SAP GUI Scripting API (sapfewse.ocx). There are some notable changes:

• The following controls
  $CLSID_SAPFEWSELib_GuiListControl = GUID$("{CC75EA97-3DB1-4BDF-9791-89D09B1800A0}")
  $CLSID_SAPFEWSELib_GuiInputControl = GUID$("{31233701-DF39-49F7-A641-16CAB0C9C5F0}")
  are changed to
  $CLSID_SAPFEWSELib_GuiComboBoxControl = GUID$("{CC75EA97-3DB1-4BDF-9791-89D09B1800A0}")
  $CLSID_SAPFEWSELib_GuiInputFieldControl = GUID$("{31233701-DF39-49F7-A641-16CAB0C9C5F0}")
  
  Also the interfaces from
  $IID_SAPFEWSELib_ISapListControlTarget = GUID$("{6E824989-726A-45EE-9FF0-52DC1A41D8D4}")
  $IID_SAPFEWSELib_ISapInputControlTarget = GUID$("{D2C7FEC7-052E-4BA3-BE44-526D9E0925C4}")
  to
  $IID_SAPFEWSELib_ISapComboBoxControlTarget = GUID$("{6E824989-726A-45EE-9FF0-52DC1A41D8D4}")
  $IID_SAPFEWSELib_ISapInputFieldControlTarget = GUID$("{D2C7FEC7-052E-4BA3-BE44-526D9E0925C4}")
  
  
• It seems that the GuiListControl is now renamed to a GuiComboBoxControl with different methods.
  As far as I can see the methods
  SetSelectionID <1> (In i As Long<0>)
  GetSelectionID <2> () As Long
  GetSelectionText <3> () As WString
  GetTextFromID <4> (In idVal As Long<0>) As WString
  SetInputControlText <5> (In ISapListControlTarget As WString<0>) As Integer
  GetInputControlText <6> () As WString
  SetComboboxText <7> (In Text As WString<0>)
  GetLabelText <9> () As WString
  doesn't exists anymore.
  
  
• It is the same with GuiInputControl and now GuiInputFieldControl.
  As far as I can see the methods
  SetInputControlText <1> (In ISapInputControlTarget As WString<0>) As Integer
  GetInputControlText <2> () As WString
  doesn't exists anymore.

If you use this controls in your SAP GUI Scripting programs, be careful if you update to PL7.

Cheers
