VBA example 1

The following VBA example exports a document with the new custom color palette:

Sub Test()
 Dim d As Document
 Dim e As ExportFilter
 Dim s As Shape
 Dim sp As New StructPaletteOptions
 Dim p As Palette
 Set d = CreateDocument
 Set s = d.ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(3, 3, 7, 7)
 s.Fill.ApplyFountainFill CreateRGBColor(255, 0, 0), CreateRGBColor(0, 0, 255)
 ' Change the palette type to custom.
 sp.PaletteType = cdrPaletteCustom
 ' Create a new palette and add some colors.
 Set p = Palettes.Create("Temp")
 p.AddColor CreateRGBColor(255, 0, 0)
 p.AddColor CreateRGBColor(0, 0, 255)
 p.AddColor CreateRGBColor(0, 255, 0)
 ' Set the palette to use for the export to the newly created palette.
 sp.Palette = p
 d.Export "C:\Test_ExportPalette_Passing_a_Palette.gif", cdrGIF, , , sp
End Sub
VBA example 2

The following VBA example exports a document with a custom palette that is identified by its path and filename:

Sub Test()
 Dim d As Document
 Dim e As ExportFilter
 Dim s As Shape
 Dim sp As New StructPaletteOptions
 Set d = CreateDocument
 Set s = d.ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(3, 3, 7, 7)
 s.Fill.ApplyFountainFill CreateRGBColor(255, 0, 0), CreateRGBColor(0, 0, 255)
 ' Change the palette type to custom.
 sp.PaletteType = cdrPaletteCustom
 ' Set the palette to use for the export to the filename of the existing palette.
 sp.Palette = SetupPath & "Custom Data\Palettes\CMYK\Nature\cEarthy.xml"
 d.Export "C:\Test_ExportPalette_Passing_a_Filename.gif", cdrGIF, , , sp
End Sub
VBA example 3

The following VBA example exports a document with a custom palette that is defined by an array of long values (which represent colors):

Sub Test()
 Dim d As Document
 Dim e As ExportFilter
 Dim s As Shape
 Dim sp As New StructPaletteOptions
 Set d = CreateDocument
 Set s = d.ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(3, 3, 7, 7)
 s.Fill.ApplyFountainFill CreateRGBColor(255, 0, 0), CreateRGBColor(0, 0, 255)
 ' Change the palette type to custom.
 sp.PaletteType = cdrPaletteCustom
 ' Set the palette to use for the export to an array of longs which represent the colors to use.
 sp.Palette = Array(RGB(255, 0, 0), RGB(0, 0, 255), RGB(125, 0, 0), RGB(0, 0, 125), RGB(155, 0, 0), RGB(0, 0, 155), RGB(175, 32, 175))
 d.Export "C:\Test_ExportPalette_Passing_an_array_of_longs.gif", cdrGIF, , , sp
End Sub
VBA example 4

The following VBA example exports a document with a custom palette that is defined by an array of colors:

Sub Test()
 Dim d As Document
 Dim e As ExportFilter
 Dim s As Shape
 Dim sp As New StructPaletteOptions
 Set d = CreateDocument
 Set s = d.ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(3, 3, 7, 7)
 s.Fill.ApplyFountainFill CreateRGBColor(255, 0, 0), CreateRGBColor(0, 0, 255)
 ' Change the palette type to custom
 sp.PaletteType = cdrPaletteCustom
 ' Set the palette to use for the export to an array of colors
 sp.Palette = Array(CreateCMYKColor(0, 77, 23, 23), CreateCMYKColor(10, 23, 43, 54), CreateCMYKColor(54, 12, 88, 12))
 d.Export "C:\Test_ExportPalette_Passing_an_array_of_colors.gif", cdrGIF, , , sp
End Sub
