POWERBUILDER & TESTCOMPLETE

Just wondering is there a workaround with the MSAA (pbdw*) to accommodate Powerbuilder 2019 & 2022. We migrated to 2019 and I remapped all of the datawindows in TestComplete so it would be recognized during runtime. Again, we migrated to 2022 and I'm to the same issue.

 

I know about the supported version...

Supported PowerBuilder Versions

With TestComplete, you can create and run tests for applications created with PowerBuilder Classic version 12.0, 12.5, 12.5.2 and 12.6.

 

I saw other posts with similar questions regarding the same issue.

    Just an FYI in case anyone is still using PowerBuilder like us :). We just migrated to PB 2025 and the pb.ini file needs to include the following to view the objects within a datawindow.

    [Data Window]
    ACCESSIBILITY=1
     
    [Application]
    ACCESSIBILITY=1

      No, at the time of this post I remapped all of the existing objects.
