MSCOMCTLLIB and CorelDrawX6

[DebG]

One of the users of my macros upgraded from X5 to X6 and the macros would not run. After considerable research I discovered the problem was caused by the form controls contained in the Windows common module MSCOMCTL.OCX. (e.g. Treeview, ImageList) The 64-bit version of CorelDrawX6 will not recognize MSCOMCTL.OCX. Installing the 32-bit version of CorelDrawX6 solved the problem.
This problem is not unique to CorelDraw- MS Office users have been complaining about this for some time. The background is contained in this thread:

So if your are using these control on your VBA forms, your users must install 32-bet CorelDrawX6 even if they have a 64-bit computer.

And just a quick note that Microsoft has said there will be no 64-bit version of this, so you are better to move away from it in the future. Going forward with X6 I highly recommend the new WPF .NET approach, you get all the cool stuff with it.
