OK. The first Open Source Macro so far (AFAIK).
I uploaded the Development branch in the Wiki section, here: http://community.coreldraw.com/wikis/resources/qr-creator-macro.aspx.
Be sure to read that first, before you start elaborating or using this cool macro.
The BETA GSM is available in my gallery, here: http://community.coreldraw.com/media/p/150284.aspx or here:4214.QRCode-Macro.gms.txt (Don't forget to delete ".txt" at the end of the filename before you install it)
I recently joined the Webinar about the new X6 release and someone asked the question id´f CorelDRAW X6 is able to create QR Codes now. No, not yet. So I wrote a small macro today in the morning to create them within CorelDRAW.
Excellent initiative!
Is it expected to work with Draw X4? Because a quick test suggests not: I get a message saying No data to process yet.
It throws this message when you haven't clicked the "Click to reflesh" label above the preview before "Get QR code", or when you haven't filled the boxes with the data to make a QR code from. Does the preview show anything after you've reloaded it?
Very great macro, Master Jedi ! congratulations and thank you very much (in the name of all Corelians)

Thanks back, Ariel! My goal is that the Corelians have to thank themself someday...
I have updated the gms to support CorelDRAW X6 (64-Bit).
Tested on:
CorelDRAW X6 (64-Bit) running on Windows 7 64-Bit.CorelDRAW X6 (32-Bit) running on Windows 7 32-Bit.

AWESOME, Shelby! Thank you for your contribution, that was very quick!!
I'm gonna check this one out for backwards compatibility and update it to the project page. I'm really stunned it gets so quick response!
Shelby...where can I get that macro? All I get is a text file when I try to save what you posted. I read where it says to delete the .txt but it still saves as a text file . What am I doing wrong?
WAG This is one of those stupid Windows default things where it will be very hard to do if you have Windows default "Hide extensions for known file types" enabled. Be sure you have it disabled so you can see and change the file extension. In Explorer "Organize > Folder and search options...>View tab > Advanced settings > Files and Folders" uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types"

Is there any error message?
Here's the error I'm getting after entering some text and trying to generate the code.
I also notice that the "Vector" option is greyed out.
Thanks!
Jason,
After Entering your text, you need to click the "Click to Refresh" text to generate the QRCode, then you get press the Get QR Code to bring it into CorelDRAW.
Don't mind, but I think this step "click to refresh" is actually redundant. I'm currently changing the macro to update the preview while the textboxes are filled. A live preview. Then the message will only appear when all fields are empty and the user tries to import the QR code.
The vector checkbox is greyed out because it still needs to be prepared in the code. I have written a library which "traces" images to vector objects, it will be included in the next minor version.
Yes, I got it to work now. I confess I didn’t find the “Click to refresh” option very intuitive. Maybe because it doesn’t look like a button you click on?
Anyway, I can confirm it works in X4.
Many thanks.
Looking forward to the vector version.

Great to hear it works in X4! Which OS? We're getting close to the first stable version, in less than TWO DAYS! AWESOME! Thanks for your info, David. I've updated the macro to version 0.3.0 and deleted the refresh thing. It's now updating while the fields are filled. It's here: v0.3.0
I have been trying to get this to work for a couple days now. I installed a java environment, installed ant, installed the zxing library, and have the macro in Corel. I get directed to Visual basic saying "cannot find project or library" whenever i type text into the box. Is there something obvious I'm missing?
It's highlighting this line when I get the error:
Private Function URLEncode(StringVal As String, Optional SpaceAsPlus As Boolean = True, Optional UTF8Encode As Boolean = True) As String
I'm getting the same error on an XP SP3 machine with X5 installed.
I'm getting a compile error on a Vista with X4. In the URL Encode. Whenever I type anything into the URL text box.
Error: Can't find project or library.
Highlighted code: ReDim Result(StringLen) As String
Just built a new system with Windows 7 Professional 64Bit and am now using CorelDraw X6 64Bit.
The macro seems to run, but the option for saving as a vector is greyed out.
Is the vector save option not implemented yet?
Help me to run the macro qrcode. I have uploaded the file gms of cu corel x5, and x6 corel running win7. When I click to enter text out an error in the project or library. What can it be?
But the encoding qrcode text is made on the PC, or uploaded on the Internet encrypted and sent to the PC?
I would just want to know what are the instructions to encode a small text qrcode for use in corel draw. help me
