GMStools

I want to facilitate GMS usage and here is the pilot project wx_GMStools.
  • load a gms from anywhere by just drag'n'drop and make it available for running/editing in this session only
  • load and copy gms to standard Draw gms folder
  • rebuild a gms file to reduce its size before distribution. Works better than File->Save and produces files much smaller in case of complex project structure.
  • create an empty gms without restarting Draw
  • works with DRAW v12/X3/X4

Download: wx_GMStools

  1. pluged in Draw12 vector core 12.5 type lib and 12.0 unclicked 13 type and still get errors when trying to compile.

    user type not defined for myVPA

    As VBIDE.VBProject gives a syntax error. This was after clicking on a BUNCH of Microsoft lib's.

  2. I've updated the installer, now it copies the v12-compatible macro.

    btw, 12.5 = Corel Designer's typelib

  4. Sorry to say the setup crashes. Gets about halfway in. Opens Draw12 and give a error box that
    " close CorelDraw12 and press OK "

    It seems to be stuck in a loop at this point.

  5. most probably you have CorelDrw.exe process running in a hidden state. Use Windows task manager to terminate it.

  7. Have you thought about adding a Delete GMS button? Maybe have it rename the extension of the GMS to "*.notused" so that it doesn't show up in the list.
