Detecting a paired Bluetooth device.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi

I have a simple requirement in Windows Mobile(Pocket PC 4.x, 5.x)
Bluetooth.

The aim is to find if a paired bluetooth device is nearby(within
range).

I thought I could write a simple Winsock application to do it.
Basically do a service discovery. But the problem is the Querry set
gives me only the name in "lpszServiceInstanceName". I would like to
get the Mac id (uniqure bluetooth id) for the device I discovered.

1. Could some one let me know how I can get it?.
2. If I know the mach id of the device, how can I directly inquire if
this device is deiscoverable or not? This is to avoid SDP.

3. Another big problem is Some of the Windows Mobile devices come with
"Widcomm" stack. These don't support WinSock or other windows APIs.
What can I do here?


Thanks very much
Ganesan
