You are correct, OpenStudio only supports a subset of the ShadingControlTypes as EnergyPlus. If you set a field to an invalid value, you won't know it unless you specifically check it like this or echo the value back by getting what you just set.
var = object.setValue("SomethingBad")
if var == false
puts "did not accept value"
end
The following Shading Control Types are supported by OpenStudio: Always On Always Off OnIfScheduleAllows OnIfHighSolarOnWindow
Here is a link to the type EnergyPlus supports.
I don't know if changing the IDD will work, it might, but an easier approach might be to alter the ShadingControlType with an EnergyPlus measure, as shown in the code snippet below.
workspace.getObjectsByType("WindowProperty:ShadingControl".to_IddObjectType).each do |shading_control|
shading_control.setString(3,"OnIfHighZoneAirTemperature") # shading control type field
end
Feel free to add this as a feature request.
