CDTray

[Richard Robertson]

How do you eject and uneject media? I understand DeviceIoControl, and I found IOCTL_STORAGE_EJECT_MEDIA. I'm not sure why it's not working. How does AutoIt do it?

CDTRAY("R:","Open")

if R: is the drive letter of the CDROM drive

@Larry: Thanks

@jpm: I was asking about the C++ code, I understand CDTray(...) in AutoIt.

Got a VBScript code for you wich seeks ur cd's and ejects em...

Set WMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.ocx")
Set colCDROMS = WMP.CDROMCollection

If colCDROMS.Count > -1 Then
      For i = 0 to colCDROMS.Count - 1
            colCDROMS.Item(i).Eject
      Next
End If

Write This into a *.vbs and have fun

I'm using C++. Nice of you to offer the code though. Would any of that work in C++ do you think?

I was thinking we were on an AutoIT Forum ...

I think this is what you want:

EDIT: Looks like an MFC application, is you're looking for a Borland application look here:

@jpm: Sorry; I was asking in the Developer section about something AutoIt does. If I had a question about how to use CDTray, it would have been in "Support."

@tonedeaf: I would need to sign up for that. It looked like it would have helped though.

THat's OK but Dev forum is usually around something to be developp with or in AutoIT
