Hi,

according to the Scrpting API [GuiVComponent Object | SAP Help Portal](https://help.sap.com/docs/sap_gui_for_windows/b47d018c3b9b45e897faf66a6c0885a8/26824bb464b045558bf5c71a617aa7fb.html?locale=en-US)  
most of the ui elements has more than the attributes that the activity “get attributes” can access. i my case the “IconName” is relevant to know if we need to click or not, in this case we try to use image selector option but the change of the button is only a 5x5px led changing between green and off, which which has proven to be unstable.  
@LevKushnir @raduc : can you extent the number of attributes to all which are available according to the API?

Thanks a lot!

mti

Dear Lev,  
sure, in My case it is a Custom z transaction, but the “IconName” property ca be accessed on every button: e.g. VA01 “Create with reference” the value is “B\_COPY”

My Screen look like this

The Values are “S\_LEDI” and “S\_LED” or “” if the button/control has no Icon

Cheers mti

```auto
If Not IsObject(application) Then
   Set SapGuiAuto = GetObject("SAPGUI")
   Set application = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine
End If
If Not IsObject(connection) Then
   Set connection = application.Children(0)
End If
If Not IsObject(session) Then
   Set session = connection.Children(0)
End If
If IsObject(WScript) Then
   WScript.ConnectObject session, "on"
   WScript.ConnectObject application, "on"
End If

myIcon_Name = session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[1]/btn[8]").IconName

Hi @mti,

Good catch! Let’s add this to our supported properties.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Best regards, Lev

Hi @mti,

I’ll add the `IconName` attribute so you can query it from UiPath. In the meantime you can also try using the `Tooltip` attribute and check if it works for your usecase.
