I am using the desktop recorder to automate functions, but the program I am analysing does not show UI Elements at this part of the program. To select UI-Element shows the frame only araound th whole system screen.

But I need to select that field "Konten" with the mouseklick left to select the following functions-

Can anybody help me, please?

Some programs are not suitable for automation, and can be a pain in the a$$.
You could use images or ocr, but it's not ideal.
What program are you trying to automate.?

This program is called "WISO Mein Geld Professional 365" and is used to have complete Information about financial transaction and status in Germany.

Give it a go with "move mouse to image".
Is it a problem with a single "field" or is it througout the program?

I'll make a photo of the whole screen in some minutes, but I think, it is not the complete window.
The green surrounded are UI-Elements, I could use. The red surrounded are not UI-Elements.

Also try hot keys through send keys. Most programs in the Us have some form of keyboard control such as holding down the Alt button and the menu items all pop up with an underline. The underline letter is the letter you press to open that menu item. Good luck.

Thank you for your tip, which I knew, but that program does not have these hot-keys up to now ( I will request to them).
Using the mouse position had helpt me over that point.
But now I have abother issue:
Here you sea a Menu with sevaral entries. The function Select Menuoption in Window does not find the entries. Using mouse does not help either.
Can you give me a tip what to try to select any of the other entries?
