Can't select bones in weightpaint mode

Question

I watched a lot of tutorials but I don't know what to do further.

When I go into weightpaint mode it looks lie in the picture or the bone have an orange outline.

I tried to select the bone by right clicking, left clicking with ctrl and shift. I even tried to select the bone by name.

But it doesn't work.

The easiest way to change "bone" during weight paint is to select the corresponding vertex group.

You cannot select the bone when the object you are trying to weight-paint is selected. You must first select the bone.

$\begingroup$ You select the bone in pose mode, and then select the object. It should show up. $\endgroup$
