Keyboard Focus Not working in Pywinauto
The left part of the screen shot shows the windows that I am trying to automate, and the right part of the screenshot is the Inspect tool of Microsoft.
I am using Pywinauto 0.6.1 on Python 3.5.2 using the Anaconda Distribution on my Win 10-x64 machine. This is my Code:
from pywinauto.application import Application, WindowSpecification
from pywinauto.controls.uiawrapper import UIAWrapper
#
app = Application(backend="uia").connect(title = 'Scanner: PravinsSignalAPP')
dlg_spec = app.window(title='Scanner: PravinsSignalAPP')
dlg1 = WindowSpecification.child_window(dlg_spec, title="ctlScanner")
dlg2 = WindowSpecification.child_window(dlg1, title="DataGridView")
dlg3 = WindowSpecification.child_window(dlg2, title="Row 0")
dlg4 = WindowSpecification.child_window(dlg3, title="Trade Time Row 0", control_type="DataItem")
#
#UIAWrapper.set_focus(dlg_spec)
UIAWrapper.set_focus(dlg4)
When I try to execute this I get the following error:
"ElementNotFoundError: {'top_level_only': False, 'title': 'ctlScanner', 'backend': 'uia', 'parent': <pywinauto.uia_element_info.UIAElementInfo object at 0x000001AE6CE31E48>}"
I am able to setfocus on dlg_spec. My doubt is - How do I set Focus on dlg4 ?
And this is the output of print (dlg_spec.print_control_identifiers()) :

First you need to make sure every parent element is found. When you create WindowSpecification, it doesn't actually find any elements. You have to call particular method to force searching the element or explicit call to .wrapper_object() method which can be omitted for production. For your example:
from pywinauto.application import Application
app = Application(backend="uia").connect(title = 'Scanner: PravinsSignalAPP')
dlg_spec = app.window(title='Scanner: PravinsSignalAPP')
print('dlg_spec wrapper:', dlg_spec.wrapper_object())
dlg1 = dlg_spec.child_window(auto_id="ctlScanner")
print('dlg1 wrapper:', dlg1.wrapper_object())
dlg2 = dlg1.child_window(title="DataGridView")
print('dlg2 wrapper:', dlg2.wrapper_object())
dlg3 = dlg2.child_window(title="Row 0")
print('dlg3 wrapper:', dlg3.wrapper_object())
dlg4 = dlg3.child_window(title="Trade Time Row 0", control_type="DataItem")
print('dlg4 wrapper:', dlg4.wrapper_object())
#dlg_spec.set_focus()
dlg4.set_focus()
Also properties HasKeyboardFocus and IsKeyboardFocusable are relevant to pywinauto's method .set_keyboard_focus(). .set_focus() just makes the window active.
UPD: the mistake was in property name, it should be auto_id="ctlScanner".
