How can I exam if there is CD in CDROM

How can I exam if there is CD in CDROM
I have examed in this way:

On Error Goto NOCD
...............
Dir "E:\aaa.aaa"
Msgbox "CD In CDROM"
Exit Sub
NOCD:
Msgbox "No CD In CDROM"
Exit Sub

But if the fuction is to long,I don't thibk it can work well.
How can I exam it in a "normal" way? API?

Try this:

Code:

---

Function CDInDrive() As Boolean
On Error GoTo ErrHan
  Dir "D:\", vbDirectory
  DiskInDrive = True
Exit Function
ErrHan:
DiskInDrive = False
End Function

Private Sub Command1_Click()

If CDInDrive() Then
  MsgBox "CD detected"
Else
  MsgBox "No CD detected"
End If

End Sub

Not good...

Some people (like me) has D: as a Hard Drive, so it really is a bad idea.:) Sorry for the correction, but no...

It'll succeed on D: as CD, but as for E: as CD...

There's a much easier way:

Code:

---

  Dim fso As FileSystemObject, d As Object, e As Drives
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  Set e = fso.Drives
  For Each d In e
    If d.DriveType = 4 Then
        If d.isready = True Then
            MsgBox "CD-Rom " & d.DriveLetter & ": is Ready."
        Else
            MsgBox "CD-Rom " & d.DriveLetter & ": is Not Ready."
        End If
    End If
  Next

No API:), and it gets every CD Drive.

A question I always wanted to ask:
do the fso add extra bytes to your project? (DLL needed?)
and can it run on any windows OS? win9*,win2k,winMe,win98se,winNT?

Yes, you have to distribute SCRRUN.DLL. It is not necessary to Place it in the setup file because it is included in VBScript 2.0, but you can call the function in HTML and autodownload VBS2.0. REMEMBER, it's a part of VB Script 2.0.
