Adapters provide an easy-to-use interface for accessing attributes and ACTIONS of ELEMENTS. Each item generated by the RANOREX object repository automatically represents a Ranorex Adapter (Button, CheckBox, Text, ListItem, TreeItem, ...). You can only create a Button Adapter of an element if the element supports the Button ROLE, i.e. if Ranorex Spy recognizes the element as a Button. 

If your controls are RECOGNIZED as 'Unknown' or 'Element', Ranorex cannot assign them a role. You can't use special attributes or actions with these elements, but you can usually still create a path that identifies the element to execute minimally mouse clicks.
