run macro at start up Corel 11 ????

How to run macro at start up Corel 11 . I can play in Corel 12 but in Corel 11 it is not run

Well, I can tell one thing - that button doesn't do much in Draw 11 anyway

It is working correctly in Draw 12 though. In v12 it disables all events fired to VBA when the button is depressed (that is, it's in Design mode).

I wouldn't worry about that button in previous versions (unless you know something I don't ).

In Corel 11, we can add a button to toolbar ? I see Corel 11 haven't Vector Graphics Core same in Corel 12 .

No, you can't add a button to toolbars in Draw 11. And it's not the fault of the Design Mode button

I mean, you can't add a button programmatically. However you can create a toolbar, save it to a .cwf file and then import it into your new workspace using Application.ImportWorkspace command.

oki, tnx Alex . How to export workspace and import it to Corel 11 ?

[Alex]

Tools>Options>Workspace>Export Workspace...

why after I export a workspace, and import it to Corel 11 in another computer, some icon of button (buttons is created by me) become icon default ?

[Alex]

Well, that's a limitation of previous versions of CorelDRAW. The icons, captions, tooltips, etc are not saved in the .cwf files. However in CorelDRAW 12 this is addressed after the workspace files have been changed to XML...

Ok, so there is no way to call a macro at the very opening of corel draw 11? This was the next step I was to take to get my project to work.

I need to call the macro from an outside VB form, triggered by a barcode scanner. Am I unable to do this with version 11?

Let me know, because if I can't, I might as well stop here. :cry:

Yes, you can. This thread was just a continuation of the one started at http://www.oberonplace.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=688

It describes the details on how to make it work in CorelDRAW 12. In Draw 11 it is pretty much the same except for "GlobalMacroStorage" object is called "GlobalDocument"...
