By using class name, value of control is retrieved from window using pywinauto functions. Recently this seems to be problem when trying to use for SAP because class name are dynamic. Is there a way to get dynamic class name of a control or is there way to access control using control ID instead of class name.
from pywinauto.application import Application
app = Application().Connect(title=u'Create Purchase Order', class_name='SAP_FRONTEND_SESSION')
sapfrontendsession = app.SAP_FRONTEND_SESSION
print sapfrontendsession.PrintControlIdentifiers()
it gives
Control Identifiers:

'41' 'Toolbar' ()control need is Afx:62F20000:8:00010003:00000010:00000000 but its getting changed for every run.when inspected with swapy,controlID is same.Is there a possiblity using controlID Text on this control can be retrieved.
Control ID is usually not guaranteed to be permanent. I believe matching class_name by regular expression would be more reliable.
app.Dialog.child_window(class_name_re='^constant_part.*$').some_method()
# though Control ID can be used so
app.Dialog.child_window(control_id=0x5D).some_method()
# or
app.Dialog.child_window(class_name_re='^constant_part.*$', found_index=0).some_method()
The same should work for title_re. In your particular case:
sapfrontednsession.child_window(title_re='^Standard PO created under the number \d+$').click()
Control ID can be found using Spy++ utility included into MS Visual Studio (available from Start menu).
sapfrontednsession.child_window(control_id=<found ID in hex>).click()
