Hello! I got a curious problem with VSTA macros. I cannot assign keyboard shortcut to them. I can do it for the VBA macros and I can even run all of them via the macro manager, but that kinda defeats the purpose of writing macros.
Have you tried actually typing a shortcut in the "New Shortcut Key" Box?
You cannot add the macro that way. To do it, you will need to create an addon solution and update either the AppUI.xslt or the UserUI.xslt. There is an example here of how to setup the Addon that I made a while back. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23733516/create-a-custom-control-in-corel-draw-x6-using-only-vsta/38268749?noredirect=1#comment95301472_38268749
Once you do what is in the link and get a button working. You can put one of the 2 xslt files I mentioned above in the addon code as well. It will look like this:
<xsl:template match="uiConfig/shortcutKeyTables/table[@tableID='bc175625-191c-4b95-9053-756e5eee26fe']"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*" /> <keySequence itemRef="4fe6c05f-7abd-45bd-8b17-5efc46b46c80"> <key>+</key> </keySequence> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>
In this example, "4fe6c05f-7abd-45bd-8b17-5efc46b46c80" is the GUID of the button I created. You will need to generate your own arbitrary GUIDs for your buttons. Also, just because you have a button does not mean you need to show it to the user. You can hide it on a new menu that is not shown.
Of course. It works with VBA macros, but not with VSTA.
Ah I see, then i'm no help. Hope you figure it out.
Why? It does work for VBA like that. It's kinda inconsistent that it doesn't work for VSTA. Also, there is a context menu option - assign keyboard shortuct:
Anyways, I'd like to try it your way. How do I add the necessary Corel libraries to Visual Studio 2015? I've followed the process described in your linked example and got
Error CS0246 The type or namespace name 'Corel' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
