Hello,

How to let the PC make a beep whil de CD Drives goes open? This is my code, but it doesn't work:

CODE:

Sleep(10000)

CDTray ( "e:", "open" )

Sleep(5000)

CDTray ( "e:", "close" )

While CDTray

Beep("200", "3000")

WEnd

Hello,

Your While statement doesn't work that way. Put some code for the beep in with the code to open the tray, like:

CDTray("e:", "open")
For $n = 1 to 5
   Beep("200", "500")
   Sleep(500)
Next
CDTray("e:", "close")

Hope that helps!

P.S. If you mean to test _IF_ the tray is open from an AutoIT script, I don't know how, but would love to hear from someone who did... (pokes gurus in the ribs...)

Thanks, but what does line 2 do?

Thanks, but what does line 2 do?

Everything between FOR and NEXT is repeated (5 times in this case). This is a standard "For Loop". A basic thing you might as well learn now if you're ever going to script anything. Check out FOR and While in the help file, and play with the examples from there. Every level of scripting and programming from the DOS shell up to high level languages uses basic things like the For Loop, so it's worth learning.
