I've been using custom tool addons for CorelDraw since X7 without issue. Recently upgraded to 2020 and haven't been able to get my tools to work. I've downloaded tool templates for CorelDraw 2020 (bonus630's templates) and cannot even get the sample tool to load. When I say load I mean that the tool appears in the toolbar as expected, but when you click it, the button looks like it has been clicked but the previous tool that was active is still the active tool. My guess is that the tool isn't properly being registered with the Application.RegisterToolState method, but I can't get any exceptions to be thrown. Was hoping someone had some insight into this issue or knew how to get some exceptions thrown when CorelDraw loads addons. Thanks for any help you guys can give!
Unfortunately custom tools have been broken for many versions. I have not found a fix or a workaround. If I do so I will be happy to post.
I would love to see many posts here on a Custom Tool that you miss so that we could show Corel it is being used and that we would like it fixed.
So if you have used a Custom Tool in the past and are not able to use it in a newer version of CorelDRAW post here. If you will not upgrade to a newer version because Custom Tools are broken post here.
Well if I happen to stumble across a solution I'll make sure to let you know. I'm pretty bummed to hear this. Maybe I can get a refund since I can't actually use 2020 now...
