Focus = api.getFocusObject()
Focus.parent.setFocus()

Should do the trick. See code found in the developer toolkit addon for
plenty of examples of how it works.

Subject: [nvda-addons] Set and report focus of parent element instead of
actually focused one

Good day everyone.

could you help me please to make a thing, where i could set and report focus
of a parent element instead of actually focused one?
the thing is that in one app, focus when navigating in listview lands in its
child element which adds some extra things and position of listview item is
not reported.
i want to correct this on an appmodule level.

thank you.

What about overriding the object.name with the parent's name?
Obj.name = obj.parent.name

I think this is one of the first examples of event_NVDAObject_init in the
add-on developer guide?

i am using event_NVDAObject_init
to get current object, then checking if it is the object that i need and
then obj.parent.setFocus() and even obj.parent.reportFocus().
reportFocus reports name of parent element however setFocus doesn't work and
after reportFocus it reads originaly focused element.
maybe there is another way of reading parent element of focused object.
i may even don't need to place focus, i only need to read parent element and
don't read current object.

thank you.

I wouldn't overwrite focus with the parent object. It could become confusing
when quickly browsing code. If you are trying to get the position of the
list item, look for a property/method on the parent called positionInfo.

then position info is still not announced.

You would use api.getFocusObject().parent.positionInfo() most likely.
