Pairing / Connecting via Bluetooth
Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2009 02:34 AM

Hi,

Is there any way of pairing and connecting to a device automatically via FWPPC ?

or do the initial connections need to be done manually?

Thanks,

Jeff Barnes

Jeff,

I think it has to be done manually

maybe there is an Windows API for it, but I have never seen it yet

regards, saludos

Jeff,
My application has the option of using a Bluetooth barcode scanner as alternate input. I simply set up the device as a discoverable Serial Port Profile. I use standard FWPPC serial communications functions and when the corresponding port is initially opened then the Bluetooth link is established automatically if Bluetooth is enabled on the PDA. It works well but be sure to use a lengthy disconnect timeout on your Bluetooth device.
