Pywinauto: unable to bring window to foreground
<p>Working on the Python-powered automation tool.</p>

<p>Imagine there is a pool of apps running:</p>

<pre><code>APPS_POOL = ['Chrome', 'SomeApp', 'Foo']
</code></pre>

<p>The script runs in the loop (every second) and needs to switch randomly between them:</p>

<pre><code># Init App object
app = application.Application()

# Select random app from the pull of apps
random_app = random.choice(APPS_POOL)
app.connect(title_re=".*%s" % random_app)
print 'Select "%s"' % random_app

# Access app's window object
app_dialog = app.window_(title_re=".*%s.*" % random_app)

if app_dialog.Exists():
    app_dialog.SetFocus()
</code></pre>

<p>The first time it works fine, but every other - the window would not be brought into foreground. Any ideas?</p>

<p><strong>EDIT:</strong> the script is ran from Win7 CMD. Is it possible the system "blocks" CMD from setting focus somehow, once focus is set to other window?</p>
