Anyone found a way to do this either via a macro or another method? I dont want to stop it working outside Corel, only within it as its real sensitive to movement.
Cheers guys!

I'm a bit confused, are you accidentally using the mouse wheel while using Draw?
You could write an autohotkey script which checks if the active application is Draw, and if so, does nothing on mouse wheel
#IfWinActive, CorelDRAW *WheelUp:: *WheelDown::#IfWinActive
Andy Carolan said:Thanks John, but I looked at that some time ago and it only allows changes to be made to the wheel button, not the wheel motion itself.
Oops. Yep. You're right. I didn't notice that is was just the button.

Hendrik Rules!

To be fair, i dont really touch the mouse much when using draw now as i mostly use a tablet. But if the mouse-wheel is knocked, it zooms in or moves the page.
Nice one Hendrik - I'm a bit of a novice with autohotkey script, in addition to vertical movement on the mouse wheel is there a way to disable the horizontal movements?
The reason is - i need to disable the scroll and zoom function because any movement on the scroll wheel (or magic mouse) results in the document going blank (or rather the objects within the document go invisible), they magically return if you scroll vertically over the page - but to repeatedly do this is highly annoying and i rather do away with the 'mouse wheel' function .........
If anyone else has experienced this and knows of an alternative solution, i'd LOVE to hear it (I read a post on here written a couple of years ago by a corel employee saying they had sorted it and the fix was to be included in SP1 of X4 - i'm running X4 SP2 and it's definitely still doing it!)
