AlexS 0 Posted November 7, 2008 Hi forum, I'm wondering if there's a way for AutoIT to monitor connected USB devices, and either stop one from being removed or by reconnecting it after it has been disconnected. I have an internal card reader that is connected through the internal USB, so the only way to reconnect the device physically after removing it through the "Safely Remove Hardware" dialog is to restart the computer or open the thing up and disconnect it. It would be nice to have it be reconnected any time myself or someone else disconnects it this way. Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexS 0 Posted November 7, 2008 can you read the help file for DriveGetDrive() , While...WEnd , For...Next , DriveGetStatus() ?Ok, this will help me find my drives when they are connected. These will not help me change a device from "ready to be removed" state back to "ready" state though. Any other suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far no has achieved this yet Alex. 'Bout the only way I've found (which by no means is elegant) is to uninstall USB Controller and then Scan for Hardware changes to reinstall it. This also works if you remove just the USB device, but only if the device was NOT "safely removed".Slightly more elegant (not much) is to simply disable the USB controller(s) and re-enable them.
