Integrate corel draw viewport in my app using COM

Is there a way? For example, pass a window handler somehow and get shapes and other things rendered in window of my app. Some applications with COM allow this. Don't need menu's, only context menu on right click.

And how to reduce corel draw load time? I don't need all functionality of corel draw.

I did it in plain VB a long time ago and it was just a matter embedding a CDR File as an OLE object. You don't get the menus or toolbars when you do it and there are some limitations. Was a very, very long time ago with something like version 5 or 6. Back then you could even get it to work in internet explorer. What language are you using?

Well, not a many of people know language i supposed to use. If i tell, it gives you nothing. But it's capable of using COM objects. So you can give an example in any popular language.
And I'll need to call corel draw vba macros maybe from that viewport in windows of my app.

I don't use old VB anymore, but here's some old info that could help you out....

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa975581(v=vs.71).aspx. This talks about using excel or word in your app, but it applies to many others.

I can code in several languages, but was asking to see if I could make it work in yours.

Looks like I can't add a file on here, but message me and I'll send you a link to a program with source code that has CorelDRAW X7 32 bit embedded in a VB form.
