Now i know who to ask if i need help, so far it not too bad, but the future assignments look pretty though

I believe his questions will be something along the lines of "when I get the HL2 source, will you help me hack it?"

wow, hanker....i may have bitten off more than ican chew here...the pressure is on...

anyway bud...can you be more specific?..i am not sur ei understand what you are asking....are you calling a function to run an exe program situated on your CD rom drive from inside a .cpp program?

if thats you question it seems that your trying to run before you can walk....try and explain exactly what you want...

#include <iostream>
void openCDTray()
{
std::cout << "Press the button to open the CD-ROM tray." << std::endl;
}

void closeCDTray()
{
std::cout << "Press the button to close the CD-ROM tray." << std::endl;
}

[hanker]

These are the 2 errors that i get and dont knwo what to do about!


Debug/openCD.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals


LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main

Are you using Visual C++? I think it only works for Visual.

 

[Solid Fro]

Try this:

Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias
"mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpstrCommand As String, _
ByVal lpstrReturnString As String, ByVal uReturnLength As Long,
ByVal hwndCallback As Long) As Long


Open CD-Tray
mciSendString "set CDAudio door open", t, 127, 0

Close CD-Tray
mciSendString "set CDAudio door closed", t, 127, 0
