BluetoothIsVersionAvailable BluetoothIsVersionAvailable function indicates if the installed Bluetooth binary set supports the requested version.
BluetoothRegisterForAuthentication The BluetoothRegisterForAuthentication function registers a callback function that is called when a particular Bluetooth device requests authentication.
BluetoothRegisterForAuthenticationEx The BluetoothRegisterForAuthenticationEx function registers an application for a pin request, numeric comparison and callback function.
BluetoothRemoveDevice Removes authentication between a Bluetooth device and the computer and clears cached service information for the device.
BluetoothSdpEnumAttributes The BluetoothSdpEnumAttributes function enumerates through the SDP record stream, and calls the callback function for each attribute in the record.
BluetoothSdpGetAttributeValue The BluetoothSdpGetAttributeValue function retrieves the attribute value for an attribute identifier.
BluetoothSdpGetContainerElementData Iterates a container stream and returns each element contained within the container element.
BluetoothSdpGetElementData Retrieves and parses a single element from an SDP stream.
BluetoothSdpGetString Converts a raw string embedded in the SDP record into a Unicode string.
BluetoothSelectDevices Enables Bluetooth device selection.
BluetoothSelectDevicesFree Frees resources associated with a previous call to BluetoothSelectDevices.
BluetoothSendAuthenticationResponse The BluetoothSendAuthenticationResponse function is called when an authentication request to send the passkey response is received.
BluetoothSendAuthenticationResponseEx The BluetoothSendAuthenticationResponseEx function is called when an authentication request to send the passkey or a Numeric Comparison response is made.
BluetoothSetServiceState Enables or disables services for a Bluetooth device.
BluetoothUnregisterAuthentication The BluetoothUnregisterAuthentication function removes registration for a callback routine that was previously registered with a call to the BluetoothRegisterForAuthentication function.
BluetoothUpdateDeviceRecord Updates the local computer cache about a Bluetooth device.
PFN_AUTHENTICATION_CALLBACK Used in conjunction with the BluetoothRegisterForAuthentication function.
PFN_AUTHENTICATION_CALLBACK_EX PFN_AUTHENTICATION_CALLBACK_EX function is a callback function prototype used in conjunction with the BluetoothRegisterForAuthenticationEx function.
PFN_BLUETOOTH_ENUM_ATTRIBUTES_CALLBACK A callback function prototype that is called once for each attribute found in the pSDPStream parameter passed to the BluetoothSdpEnumAttributes function call.
PFN_DEVICE_CALLBACK A callback prototype used in association with selecting Bluetooth devices.

Structures

BLUETOOTH_ADDRESS_STRUCT The BLUETOOTH_ADDRESS structure provides the address of a Bluetooth device.
BLUETOOTH_AUTHENTICATE_RESPONSE BLUETOOTH_AUTHENTICATE_RESPONSE structure contains information passed in response to a BTH_REMOTE_AUTHENTICATE_REQUEST event.
BLUETOOTH_AUTHENTICATION_CALLBACK_PARAMS BLUETOOTH_AUTHENTICATION_CALLBACK_PARAMS structure contains specific configuration information about the Bluetooth device responding to an authentication request.
BLUETOOTH_COD_PAIRS The BLUETOOTH_COD_PAIRS structure provides for specification and retrieval of Bluetooth Class Of Device (COD) information.
BLUETOOTH_DEVICE_INFO_STRUCT The BLUETOOTH_DEVICE_INFO structure provides information about a Bluetooth device.
