just a way to open your cd tray by sending a string to it
| CODE |
#include <windows.h>
int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hThisInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpszArgument,int nFunsterStil)
{
char string[22] = "set cdaudio door open";
int status;
MessageBox(0,"CD Tray attempting to open..","CD Tray",MB_ICONINFORMATION);
status = mciSendStringA(string,0,0,0);
if(status = 0)
{
MessageBox(0,"Error Opening CD tray","Error",MB_ICONERROR);
return 1;
}
return 0;
}

I once saw a program where it prompts you for a place to put your beer and if you click yes it opens up the cd tray :lol:

In the Masm or Fasm asm compilers, I forget which, has the beer example. It is actually quite popular for what it is. :P
