How I know CD-ROM's door is Opened or Closed?

[Love In Snowing]

I am writing a program. In this program I wanna know whether the CD-ROM's door is Opened or Closed? How I can write code?:confused:

hi there, a good starting point is to search the MSDN for MCI. Another (but much harder) way is the function DeviceIoControl(). ..have fun.. jk :cool:

Try (file-)reading-routines on the CD, if it fails drive is open, if it doesn't fail, drive is closed

I wanna know which Function I can use ?

mciSendCommand() or DeviceIOControl(). There's no Function like Is_Drive_A_CDRom_And_If_Its_So_Is_The_Tray_Open(LPCTSTR pszDrive). RTFM :-D ..have fun.. jk :cool:
