CorelDRAW Macro

[Anysja]

I am trying to trace a black and white image with a macro in corelDRAW 2017. The steps to do it manually are:

1. Select the image
2. Click trace bitmat
3. Go to outline trace
4. Click on line art

There is an option to remove the background, you can then select the background color you would like to remove. I want my macro to remove white.

I can do the entire process in my macro except specifying the background color I would like to remove, it automatically is removing black. How can I change this?

What does this have to do with Visual Basic .Net?

[Anysja]

The macro is programmed with Visual Basic.

Hmm, which version of Visual Basic? Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), legacy Visual Basic (VB3, 4, 5, or 6), or Visual Basic .NET

[Anysja]

It is a VBA.

Oh awesome, thank you! I'm new to this page so I wasn't exactly sure where to post.

if you post the code you have so far, someone may be able to assist

Dim traced1 As TraceSettings
Set traced1 = photo.Bitmap.trace(cdrTraceLineArt, Smoothing = AdvancedOptions1.Smoothness1, AdvancedOptions1.Detail1, cdrColorLab, cdrCustom, 2, True, True, True)

I convert the image to a black and white bitmap first. This code traces that bitmap. The last two trues are removing the background color. However, they remove the color that CorelDRAW decides is the background color, sometimes that is black, and I want it to remove white everytime.
