Getting Add-ins to work with CorelDRAW's VBA

[Joe]

Hello, all.

There are several useful add-ins for VBA that would be quite nice to have working with CorelDRAW's version of VBA. Any ideas on how to get them to play nice?

For example:
http://www.team-moeller.de/en/?Add-Ins:TM_VBA-Inspector
http://www.mztools.com/v3/features.aspx

I remember that once upon a time I somehow had MZ-Tools working, but cannot remember how that came to be.

I'll second that.

These tools are 32-bit COM (ActiveX) add-ins. So if you want to use them you need to be 32-bit. I have a 32-bit Windows 7 VM running X4 - X7 that allows me to use them.

I am attaching a screenshot of CorelDRAW X7 and you can see the full MZ-Tools Toolset running just fine.

MZ-Tools does mention on their website that they are working on a 64-bit version for 2015 so hopefully they will get it done as it is a very useful tool.

On a side note, I'd love to see this functionality added directly to VBA, but I doubt Microsoft is even developing this platform any further.

You are correct it will never happen. We were so very luck just to get 64-bit. They didn't even want to do that.
