I wanted to connect it with backend="uia". but if I use "uia" backend I get "pywinauto.findwindows.ElementNotFoundError". if I use backend "win32" is working. but I want to use some check boxes in Save As window which is not visible in "win32" backend.

"win32" and "uia" backends provide different hierarchy. In "win32" all windows are top level, while in "uia" auxiliary windows are children of main window. Just call .dump_tree() for main window specification or try to use py_inspect which can switch backend.
