python - Tkinter main window focus

Question

I have the following code

window = Tk()
window.lift()
window.attributes("-topmost", True)

This code works in that it displays my Tkinter window above all other windows, but it still only solves half of the problem. While the window is in fact displayed above all other windows, the window does not have focus. Is there a way not only to make the window the frontmost window in Tkinter, but also put focus on it?

Answer 1

If focus_force() is not working you can try doing:

window.after(1, lambda: window.focus_force())

It's essentially the same thing, just written differently. I just tested it on python 2.7.

root.focus_force() wouldn't work but the above method did.
