from there is was a matter of controlling the keyboard with the
SendKeys() command.
This seems pretty fragile at best. If the menu bar is a standard
Windows control, the window will respond to WM_COMMAND messages and
carry out the appropriate menu command without you having to send
keyboard keys. You'll need to use a tool like Spy++ to log the window
messages while you manually activate the menu commands, in order to
determine the correct IDs for the items you need.

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 :/

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 Group
2) Edit | Select All
3) Geoprocessing | Change Boundaries | Polyline to Polygon
4) Geoprocessing | edit Boundaries | Combine Islands / Lakes
5) 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.
