About support

Applications created in PowerBuilder 12 support Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA). Their forms and controls implement the IAccessible interface. The TestComplete MSAA engine accesses this interface to obtain information about the application’s user interface elements, such as the names, location and state of individual forms and controls.
