Hello!
I need enumerate all bluetooth device (RS232 profile) and silent connect to
it.
I'm use functions CreateFile, ReadFile and etc.

I can do it without any third party SDK (Widcomm and Highpoint)?
IPaq support any native microsoft functions, like WSALookupServiceBegin and
other?

May be who have prototype of functions for search and connect to bluetooth
device from WIDCOMM and send it to me (victorsav@tut.by)

Yours sincerely,
Victor

Victor,

Although you may be able to find a very painful method (hack) to talk serial
via Bluetooth - a third party stack is by far the first choice. iPaq's
support a very limited subset of Bluetooth API with their SDK's... of which,
most of the calls don't work very well. I remember fiddling with trying to
turn the radio on... for three days - until I found out that the call was
not yet supported! I suggest the HP developer forums
http://www.hp.com/developer/ipaq - we have been carrying on there for some
time about these kinds of topics.

If all you want to do is connect via Bluetooth to a serial
device that supports the serial port profile (SPP) , just
open "Com8:" and treat it like any other serial port. The
act of opening the port turns on the Bluetooth radio,
calls up the Bluetooth browser and lets you pick which SPP
device to connect to.
