TestComplete can be extended in two ways: via creating custom plug-ins and via script-extensions. See TestComplete Extensions and SDK and Creating Custom Plug-Ins.
I'd recommend that you attempt creating script extensions for your custom components. Probably, in the from of run-time objects (similar to pre-installed WMI Object) which are added to TestComplete’s object model and displayed in the Code Completion window.

- Plug-ins are compiled as DLLs or .NET assemblies and created with full-fledged programming languages like Visual C++, C# or Delphi. To create plug-ins, you need to download TestComplete SDK. It contains the modules required to create your own plug-ins, documentation and sample projects.
- Script extensions are more "light-weight" and simple, while being still powerful. They are created in VBScript or JScript. See the Script Extensions online topic and the Creating and Deploying Script Extensions screencast.
