How To Detect Cd Drive Automatically

[manmoncang]

Sorry again coz i weak in programming. Just beginner

i have a file in CD and i want open that file using GUI. Let's say the file name is file.pdf

The problem is, not all computer assign same character for CD Drive like in my laptop, it is E:\ and my Dekstop is I:\ and so on

Thus how to makesure when people press button in GUI, thus the computer know the CD drive and open that file. Tq

maybe... put this first, change the use to PDF files

$var = FileOpenDialog($message, "C:\Windows\", "Images (*.jpg;*.bmp)", 1 + 4 )

If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096,"","No File(s) chosen")
Else
    $var = StringReplace($var, "|", @CRLF)
    MsgBox(4096,"","You chose " & $var)
EndIf

Here:

$file_relative_path = "myfolder\myotherfolder\myfile.pdf"
$drive="<not_known>"
For $i = Asc('a') to asc('z')
   If DriveGetType ( Chr($i) & ":" ) = "CDROM" And DriveStatus ( Chr($i) & ":" ) = "READY" Then
       $drive = Chr($i)
       ExitLoop
   EndIf
Next
If $drive="<not_known>" Then
   MSGBOX(0, "No CDROM found", 'Sorry =.="')
EndIf
Run('run "'&drive&':\'&$file_relative_path&'"')
