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
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!)

Are you talking about the left and right scroll that some mice support? If so, try adding:
*WheelLeft:: *WheelRight::
I don't have a mouse that supports this, so I can't test it out, but I've read AutoHotkey v1.0.48 and later supports it.

I think I remember reading about this, but I've never experienced it. I'd be interested in hearing if it also happens with X5. Is it the mouse that causes it? (i.e. would plugging in a different mouse remove the problem?)
