    Hi, 
     
    Are you trying to set the window as ui element to wait page content- then top level node in UI Element hierarchy won't be editable. Then one workaround would be to create the Window as a UI Element under it and select it as an option under UI Element field under if webpage contains action.
     
     
    Thanks & Regards,

    This does not look like a web page element. It seems like a local application UI element. And those cannot be used in Browser automation actions. It's probably a part of the browser window. Try using If window contains instead.
