When testing SAP GUI button controls, you can use specific methods of the corresponding test object as well as methods that TestComplete applies to all test and onscreen objects. All of these methods are listed below. The methods are organized into categories: Standard, Extended, RTTI, Debug Agent and others. For more information about this, see Categories of Object Methods and Properties.

<Name Mapping>

These methods are available only if the test object has been mapped (see Name Mapping). You can use them in your tests, but they are not displayed in the Object Browser panel.

Name	Description
`AddNamedChild`	Adds the specified child object to Name Mapping.
`GetUnderlyingObject`	Returns the test object, to which the given mapping item corresponds.
`RefreshMappingInfo`	Instructs TestComplete to re-identify the mapped object using the identification information specified in Name Mapping.
`RemoveNamedChild`	Deletes the specified child mapped object from Name Mapping.
`WaitAliasChild`	Waits until the child object with the specified alias becomes available during the timeout period.
`WaitNamedChild`	Waits until a child object with the specified mapped name becomes available during the timeout period.

Other Categories

If TestComplete has access to internal methods, properties and files of your tested application (that is, if it is an Open Application), you can call the internal methods and properties as methods and properties of the appropriate test objects. You can view these properties and methods in corresponding categories (Private, Public, RTTI, Debug Agent, Firefox, and so on). These methods and properties are not described in the TestComplete help file. For more information on them, please see the documentation for the development tools that was used to create the application under test.

Name	Description
`ClickButton`	Simulates a mouse click on the object.
