COM/IDispatch Interface for PowerPoint 2016

Previous versions of PowerPoint provided a COM interface for automation (the most recent I have used is 2010). 

As noted in the link below, [for previous PowerPoint versions] the IDispatch pointer to DocumentWindow was available via the paneClassDC window class.

Has this interface been removed/dropped/deleted from PowerPoint 2016? 

Or is the same interface possibly still available, but via a different window class now?  I have been unable to find any documentation on this change.... thanks.

To anyone who stumbles along... mdiClass is the new class name to use in PowerPoint 2016 and works exactly as paneClassDC does on older Office versions.
