I finally was able to get the menu controlled. pywinauto does seem to allow it.
After finding the correct connection, this let me select the menu:
app_dialog.child_window(title="Menu Bar").set_focus()
from there is was a matter of controlling the keyboard with the SendKeys()
command.

Hello Simon. Thank you for your response. I had read of pywinauto but hadn't
used it before. After your advise i have been working on it for hours. But
unfortunately i can not get the menu items. I analyzed it via a tool named
Swapy and it shows the MenuItems field [] as an empty list. I'm still stuck :/

I haven't used it myself but I believe this is what pywinauto does:

Hi, I am writing a script to automate a program named Golden Software Surfer. I
am using import win32com.client in Python during this process. At one point
though i can not get past a certain step of my code. The reason is because
Surfer's automation utility (Scipter) does not allow that part to be
controlled. I could get past this step if i could control the main program's
(Surfer) Menu bar. This step just has a couple of processes that all are within
the Menu bar itself. For example here is what I want to automate:******
1) Arrange | Edit Group2) Edit | Select All
3) Geoprocessing | Change Boundaries | Polyline to Polygon4) Geoprocessing |
edit Boundaries | Combine Islands / Lakes5) Arrange | Stop Editting Group******
All of these steps aren't changeable via its scripting libraries within
Scripter. But they are all under the main programs Menu Bar. Is there a way for
me to automate the menubar via win32com? If so could you please help me
understand how?
Basically i am trying to learn how to control the menu bar of Surfer from
Python.
Thank you all in advance.
