Looking for programmatic Bluetooth discovery/pairing using XP SP2

The bluetooth stack that comes with XP SP2 has a couple of nice wizard
interfaces for device discovery and pairing. I am looking to create my
own wizards to do similar tasks and wanted to interface
programmaticall y with the stack.

I also found the Bluetooth API in the MSDN platform SDK. However,
there isn't any example code, and my C/C++ skills are not that strong.

I was hoping to create a C# class to interface with this stack in just
the areas of discovery and pairing. Any ideas? Heck, I'd take any
examples in C or C++ in this area.

PS. Even if I could call the existing SP2 bluetooth devices wizard
would be nice. Any ideas on how to do that?

Thanks in advance!

I have another laptop (running sp1) that doesn't prompt for the code when...

I'm supporting an app that's breaking with winxp SP2. it uses a bluetooth emulated serial port and it looks like the sp2 bluetooth stack is enforcing security and expecting the pairing code, which i never passed in the past. anyone had experience with this? i see some discussion around win CE machines, but nothing about standard (or Tablet PC's, which I'm using).

I know this is probably not the correct newsgroup, but I can't find anywhere else that is appropriate to post it in. I need to figure out how to write a bluetooth program to access a bluetooth barcode scanner.

Unfortunately, Bluetooth programming books are not exactly plentiful and finding a book on RFCOMM is almost...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
