    Yeah... at this point, it looks like you're not going to be able to identify the contents as is... the frame is masking what's going on internally.  

    So... couple of options.

     

    1) Text Recognition - Under Tools | Current Project Properties | Open Applications | Text Recognition, add that "class" of object to the list.  TestComplete will then create objects based upon text on screen that are then clickable.  

    2) OCR - If you have the license for it, you can use the built in AI OCR to find and execute actions against objects.

I suggest starting here:

And about halfway down that page you will find a helpful table:
