From my experience:
Make sure you use a version of your app with debug info saved. Warning: That can swell your app size up to 10x, depending on the app complexity. I think debug info can be extracted and saved in an external file too, but I am not 100% sure. Otherwise a lot of DevExpress objects can be non-transparent to TestComplete...
Once you make sure that you do use a version of your app with debug info saved (embedded or external), try exploring the "parent" object a little more, and see what it has inside (properties, methods, sub-objects etc). Maybe what you are looking for can be obtained from a sub-object, property, or method (often you have to nest them a few levels deep too to get to what you are looking for). The object browser is an excellent tool, it has saved me numerous times from situations that would otherwise be dead ends.
