Determine if CD Tray is Open or Closed?

Hi all.

I'm a newbie here, and I've had a brief play with AutoIt, which looks very useful.

Anyway, a quick question: the 'CDTray' function looks useful for what I want to achieve, but is there a way of determining whether the cd tray is open or closed at the moment?

I've had a look through the docs, but can't see anything.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,

SmugX

Thanks, MHz - but, unless I'm missing something, your FindCD function uses DriveStatus on the drive.

DriveStatus returns 'NOTREADY' if the drive is open, but also if the drive is empty - meaning I can't tell the difference between the two states.

Am I making sense? :lmao:

Regards,

Hi,

as far as i know there is know way to see if the cd-drive is open. (no logic inside the drive).

What about Windows without using AutoIt ?It would be the same as driving a car without an steering Wheel!

I believe that too.

Because there's no CD to be read, the drive is not ready.

If anyone thinks of anything, please let me know!

What will the eject function return if the drive's already open?

Nevermind, it will always return a success if the drive isn't burn locked.

I was thinking of the CDTray("drive","status") function
