Kalipso - Form - Actions - Actions Description - Group Communications - Bluetooth Start Device Discovery

Action available for the following operating systems:

Parameters

Targets

• MAC Address <unquoted string> - The control or variable where the MAC Address of the discovered device will be stored.

• Name <unquoted string> - The control or variable where the name of the discovered device will be stored.

• PairingState <numeric> - The control or variable where the pairing state of the discovered device will be stored. It can be:

  • 0 - Not Paired

  • 1 - Paired

This action starts the discovery process. When a Bluetooth device is discovered the event Bluetooth Device Found will be executed on the top form.

When the discovery process is finished the event Bluetooth Discovery Finished will be executed on the top form.

On Win32 clients, the process is actually synchronous. So this call will be a blocking call and for each device found the event Bluetooth Device Found will be executed and at the end the event Bluetooth Discovery Finished will be executed.

On some Windows CE/Mobile devices this function may not be available. It will depend on the actual Bluetooth drivers of the device.
