PowerBuilder 2019 classic | MSAA | TC 14.30 cannot resolve objects inside DataWindow

We are thinking about migrating from PB 12.1 to 2019. 
We have some tests written in TC. 
But TC cannot resolve objects inside Datawindow. Using Object Spy, we can't targer edit columns or DDDW/DDLB. TC only sees whole DW. 
Anyone using PB2019? Maybe there is something we need to configure to make it work? 
This doesn't help: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-testing/desktop/power-builder/classic.html

    Thanks for the update. I think the best option will be to submit this query to the TestComplete Support Team. They can work with our R&D team to investigate how TestComplete 14.30 can work with PowerBuilder 2019.

    Hi greg239843,

     

    According to the article you mentioned, TestComplete 14.30 supports the following PowerBuilder version:

    12.0, 12.5, 12.5.2 and 12.6.

    Is v.2019 newer than 12.6?

      Hi Tanya

       

      2019 is newer than 12.6. 
      After 12.6 from like 2012 (12.0 was from 2008), next was PB 2017 and now there is 2019. 

      I can see that You support only "up to 12.6". But if You use MSAA API then it should just work. Someone changed something :) Or there is some special code in TestComplete to enable PowerBUilder support.
