Hi,

| There's nothing built-in yet, but if it's easy to adapt the code from AutoIt I'll try to get it done soon. |

In the mean time I suppose you could use this little command line tool.
It also lets you clsoe the tray.
Command line tools are convenient for extending the capabilities of ahk  . |

Thanks, but I already have tool for that, but I thought it could be possible directly within AHK.

Hi,
are there any news about implementing media-eject? The link above does not work. Is it maybe possible with postmessage?

Would it be possible to make it eject a CD-RW? With a
CD-ROM, you can push the button on the machine, with a RW, you have to
r-click on the icon, select Eject. A hotkry would be nice.
Thanx

This was overdue so has been added to the installer at http://www.autohotkey.com/download/
The syntax is:
Drive, Eject ; eject the default drive
Drive, Eject,, 1 ; retract the default drive
Drive, Eject, E: [, 1] ; eject/retract a named drive

I think it should work on all types of CD and DVD drives that can play music CDs. |

Thanks Chris,
is it possible to get the status if a drive is open or close? I want a key which opens the drive and the I want to close the drive with the same key.

| Yes, I should probably add that for completeness. Thanks; it should be done soon. |

You can open or close using only one hotkey with this code:
| Code: | ^#0::
Drive, Eject,,
If ErrorLevel = 0 ;just in case
If A_TimeSinceThisHotkey < 1000 , Drive, Eject,, 1
Return |
The variable A_TimeSinceThisHotkey in my case is always > 1000ms if the script must change "drive state".
I was using a commandline tool ,this way is much better!Thanks Chris. |
