about App.focus() question

--- at 1:
App.focus() only works for ASCII-characters in the moment (see bug 784967)

--- at 2:
on this we have another bug: bug 682281

you might try the workaround:
after firing App.focus() use:

wait(1); type(" ", KEY_ALT); type("x")

this accesses the window menu and opens window

Thanks
at 1: I understand.
at 2:
Should again failed to properly express my meaning.
For example:
Suppose I open a notepad and I minimize it.
I can not App.focus () to find it?
Or there are other ways to focus it?

Maybe this is not answering your question, but... I am able to focus on a minimized window by using App.focus(r"full path to .exe")

Try that and maybe it would work. :)

taking the following example: (supposing Notepad is closed)

(you might have to fix the type()'s - I am on german Win7)

App("Notepad").open(); wait(1) # opens a new Notepad window
App("Editor").focus() # german: comes up with a different prog-name
type("s", KEY_CTRL); wait(1)
type("testing\n") # to give the window a name (mind overwrite situation)
np = App("testing.txt") # the App instance
Region(np.window()).highlight(2) # the Notepad window
type(" ", KEY_ALT); wait(1); type("n") # the sequence to minimize
wait(2) # it is minimized now

np = App("testing.txt").focus() # we try to focus using a new App object
Region(np.window()).highlight(2) # the Notepad window
# nothing happens, because the window is at (-32000, -32000)
# but it accepts type()'s
type(" ", KEY_ALT); wait(1); type("w") # the sequence to restore the window

the window you want, is restored when minimized.

You could even check the x-value of the window region, to find out, whether it is minimized or not after the App.focus().

sorry, have to correct the 1st line of the 2nd part of the snippet:

np = App("testing.txt")
np.focus() # we try to focus using a new App object
