Windows CDROM Eject

Question

Does anyone know a method to programmatically close the CD tray on Windows 2000 or higher? Open CD tray exists, but I can\'t seem to make it close especially under W2k.

Answer 1

Here is an easy way using the Win32 API:

[DllImport("winmm.dll", EntryPoint = "mciSendStringA", CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
        protected static extern int mciSendString(string lpstrCommand,StringBuilder lpstrReturnString,int uReturnLength,IntPtr hwndCallback);

 public void OpenCloseCD(bool Open)
 {
    if (Open)
    {
        mciSendString("set cdaudio door open", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
    }
    else
    {
        mciSendString("set cdaudio door closed", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
    }
}
