.focus() won't work with fullscreen app

Asked by Brenna Clark

I'm using a full screen GUI along with a simulator application. I open the simulator successfully, then I manipulate the GUI. Later in the script when I need to access the simulator, it's hidden behind the GUI so .focus() does not work.

With simApp = App("BodyTom Simulator") declared at the top I've attempted:
1. simApp.focus()
2. if not simApp.window():
        openApp(simApp)
        simApp.focus()
    else:
       simApp.focus()

P.S. I am running on Windows.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

sorry, known problem.

No other solution currently, then to avoid it.

I ended up using type(Key.TAB, KeyModifier.ALT) to change windows to the one I wanted

Just wondering, what about switchApp(simApp)?

switchApp() simply is a shortcut at the Python API level, that internally finally ends up in an App.focus() as well.

Can you help with this problem?
