[Bug 1008113] Re: [request] Windows: want better support with App.focus() and switchApp()?

 

BTW I also tried:
a = App(r"C:\Program Files (x86)\eMule\emule.exe")
b = App(r"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steame\steam.exe")
a.open()
b.open()
wait(5)
c = b.window()
if not b:
    popup("not found")
    exit(1)
popup("found")
When the applications are not running i get a "found" (i.e. it finds the window and object) but when the applications are already running i get a "not found"

Title:
  [request] Windows: want better support with  App.focus() and
  switchApp()?

Status in Sikuli:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Is there some bug with focus() or switchApp() handled on windows? I
  noticed that if I use the same method on mac it works find and puts
  the application in the front, but when using it on windows it does
  not.

  what I did was put the application (ff) behind a different application (ie) and want to get a focus on it so it becomes the application in front.  
  code: 
  switchApp('firefox')

  or

  ff = App('firefox')
  ff.focus()

  - another q, is that if the application is minimized (win or mac),
  would focus() also work and open the application and put it in
  focus()?
