dminion Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Does anyone know of a way to lock and unlock the cdrom drive tray using auto it? I've looked around and have only found ways to do it in VB. Can someone please help? Thanks, dminion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdkid Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 well this may not help but all i can think of is using a while loop and checking if it's open and if it is then close it... --probably being usless ~cdkid AutoIt Console written in C#.

Lakes Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 You mean search for VB code that does the same thing? I don`t have a clue when it comes to VB, sorry... 2015 - Still no flying cars, instead blankets with sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
