Just wanted to make the behaviour correct. Will go with just making it an  
eject button rather than an open/close if I can't get the open/close  
behaviour right.

Yeah, thought about doing it that way, but we would rather have less  
functionality (ie, only eject, not open/close) than have it behave  
wrongly, even if it is obvious to the user what is going on.
It's actually a DVD player, so the user will be changing discs a bit, but  
seeing as they have to actually move their hand to the drive to insert the  
disc, making them close the tray isn't a big stretch, it was just annoying  
me that I couldn't get it working, when WinDVD does, so there is obviously  
a way.

Thanks for your time
