Question: How to open a new SAP GuiApplication targeting SAP Logon instead of SAP Easy Access?
I know this seems like a repeat question however, it is more an addition to the question How do I automate SAP GUI with c#. Due to my lack of reputation points, I am unable to ask a question in the comments section so please forgive me.
I was able to successfully implement a connection to SAP using C# however, it is connecting to "SAP Easy Access" instead of "SAP Logon" -A more visually appealing GUI. I do not necessarily care about the visual appearance; the issue is certain buttons or text input fields are unavailable or not visible.
Here is a picture:
I believe the issue is with the DLL library or me not knowing how to start an instance of SAP Logon and attach it to my session.
Here is my code excluding sensitive data:
using System;
using SAPFEWSELib;
namespace RS_PostSettlementDataPull
{
//SAPActive class to perform script operations
public class SAPActive
{
//Class Member accessors
public static GuiApplication SapGuiApp { get; set; }
public static GuiConnection SapConnection { get; set; }
public static GuiSession SapSession { get; set; }

public static void OpenSap(string env)
{
SAPActive.SapGuiApp = new GuiApplication(); //Need a way to explicitly create SAP Logon app
string connectString = null;
if (env.ToUpper().Equals("DEFAULT"))
{
connectString = "1.0 Test ERP (DEFAULT)";
}
else
{
connectString = env;
}
SAPActive.SapConnection = SAPActive.SapGuiApp.OpenConnection(connectString, Sync: true); //creates connection
SAPActive.SapSession = (GuiSession)SAPActive.SapConnection.Sessions.Item(0); //creates the Gui session off the connection you made
}
/**
