TrayQuickie

[R.L. 0]

Just a small one to play with the open tray function in Autoit

It is designed to open whatever drive letter quickly. By default, it will open D: drive, wait for 10 seconds and then close the tray. Press <Enter> will close the tray early. Press <Insert> will extend another 15 seconds. If a different drive than D: drive is used (e.g., e: drive), one can make a command in

the shortcut after the script is complied (e.g., Trayquickie.exe E: ) and it will launch the drive specified. Hence more than one drives can be pointed to by shortcuts.

I think you could change this

If $CMDLINE[0] = 0 Then
Global $dr = "d:"
call ("operation")

to this:

If $CMDLINE[0] = 0 Then
Global $dr = DriveGetDrive( "cdrom" )

If NOT @error Then
call ("operation")
End If
..

Thanks. I noticed that error and updated the script (sorry, I should have posted the updated one long ago but have been busy)

Now it will give out a "not read" status if the drive is unaccessible due to other programs occupying it But thanks for pointing it out, yours was a nice suggestion, too.

Func status()
If DriveStatus($dr) = "ready" Then
Global $status = "occupied" 
elseif DriveStatus($dr) = "notready" Then
Global $status = "empty" 
else 
Global $status = "not read" 
endif

EndFunc
