Application class
Syntax:
Class Application
Remarks:
The Application class defines the characteristics of the main Corel PHOTO-PAINT application.
The application object is always available in VBA and its properties and methods are global, making it unnecessary to explicitly specify the application object. With the application object, CorelScript and Application.CorelScript can be used interchangeably because they represent the same application object.
