Ok.. i was playing with a mac at college and noticed the Eject pop-up screen was kinda cool... looked around for a PC version of it... couldnt find anything... so made it myself... this is my first Mac sim program... should work.. but then its still a beta.
I used it with the Eject shortcut in ObjectBar instead of the standard one (which seems not to work for me)
anyway, here it is... iJect beta..
[edit] THIS VERSION CRASHES, DOWNLOAD OTHER VERSION BELOW
Very nice effort, and I'm surprised that nothing of the sort has been done before.
As it is, the program crashes after it runs. The bezel shows up, the drive ejects, and then I get a ".exe has crashed. You Need to Install Service Pack 2, stupid ****." Well, that's what the link I followed said, in maybe nicer terms.
Also, the bezel could use some work. Do you have a Mac to grab the image off of? If not, I'm sure there are people around who can help you.
Once you work out the crashing problem, this app has potential for greatness

Thanks for the reply, ive been graphic designing for ages... often pop over here to check up on stuff... too shy to talk.. hehe... yea i cant understand why that crash occurs... seems to happen with me too...
Il get to fixing it, thanks again for feedback... i think this program could be onto something once its complete...
PS: i think the image is the correct one... according to google it is anyway "eject os x" in the images search.
nice job on this... really cool...
not crashing for me so i'm using it right now...
some things to consider: make it transparent and also if run again, should close the drive... 
i like! now, here's what's next: make it accept switches (-1, -2, etc.) so i can assign to it to my multiple drives. so on my dock, i've got eject icons and i've got command lines like "c:program filesejecteject.exe -1" and "c:program filesejecteject.exe -2", right?
but again, me likee!
Great app. I found this PNG thet i use. I did not make this. I hope it's ok to post this here.
Enjoy

nice one
Thanks, i will take note for those idea's in the release!
W000t great app, thanks a lot
Wow - you read my mind. I was only thinking how much I need one of these - now can it be linked to a key board shortcut, so I don't look like a right tit when I try and press my keyboard button to eject the CD and remember I'm on the PC!
Well i can link it with a hotkey, but that would mean the program would always need to be open... also... im not sure if the Eject key has an ascii value...
this is cool, it ejects my cd drive, but not my dvd

First lemme say this thing is a great idea and i dont know why no one did it before. Second, you executed this thing very well I'm really pleased with it. Only thing that I say was this little colored box thing, not sure what causes it or how it would be fixed... heres a screenshot.
ah yea, thats my silly coding... it shall be removed on release..
Ok, so ive been working on the program... and now its a permanently running program which doesnt depend on ObjectBar. Still in beta stages...
iJect 0.5 Added:
* System Tray Icon
* Will Open or Close depending on if cd tray is open or closed.
* Right click System Tray to Eject and Exit
* Bugs Fixed
* Graphical Problem Fiixed
Im currenttly working on the switching... if anyone knows how to do this in VB... it would be a great help for some advice...
Anyway, enjoy the latest beta version...
this is cool, only one prob with 0.5, i get a taskbar entry called form1 when iject is loaded.

true dat!!
Form1 still resides on my taskbar....it's invisible, but i can see it on the desktop as an invisible window. How is it possible that I can see invisible windows? Well this one casts a shadow.
And I must say that I rolled back to first version. It felt a little bit faster and worked good with keyboard shortcut which is a lot faster than right-clicking systray icon.
Anyway - thanks
ok i suppose... the reason i put it in a tray was so that the program knows if your tray is open or not... meaning it can open and close your tray instead of it always opening it no matter the state... a few minor adjustements and it should work correctly... as i say... still in beta stages..
