AppWindow.Active property

Gets the application's window active status

Syntax:

Property Get Active() As Boolean

Remarks:

The Active property returns a value indicating the status of the CorelDRAW main application window. If the window is active, a value of True is returned, indicating that it is currently in use. If the window is inactive, the return value is False, indicating that the main application window is currently open but not in use.

You can use the Activate method to change the inactive status of the main application window.

    MsgBox "CorelDRAW is not active at this time."
  End If
End Sub
