Help with VB6

[WhiteWidow]

i wanted to make a little program to open and close my DVD drive, i have done that but then i wanted to open and close my CDRW drive so i put a COMBO box.
but i dont know what the coding would be to link the 2 buttons to the combo box so it can open and close the drives that i pick.



please help me







THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IS ALWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Assuming that you have a button, "Command1" and a combo "Combo1" on your form, this should do it:

In button:

Select Case Combo1.Text
  Case Is = "Item1"
    MsgBox ("Item1 is selected")
  Case Is = "Item2"
    MsgBox ("Item2 is selected")
  Case Else
    MsgBox ("No items selected")
End Select

I've tested this on a few PC's and didn't have any problems, there is another API call to use to open the drive I think, but it'll probably give youthe same result as I think this is possibly down to your particular drive.
