Hi,
I am using the functions BluetoothFindFirstRadio / BluetoothFindNextRadio functions to discover the Bluetooth devices on a Windows 8 Desktop
with a BT dongle.
I am able to discover the devices. But, once a BT Device is discovered and paired. When I try to search again for new devices the old paired
device is displayed. But this device is switched off and I don't want it to be discovered if its switched off.
Is there a way NOT to discover the Switched OFF devices ( Even though they are paired in Device Manager ) ?
Is there any specific flag need to be set for this? I have tried 3rd party code like 32.NET. But here also I have the same way.
Please help
Regards
Raghu

Hi Raghu,
Thank you for your post.
As you are using C++ functions to programatically Bluetooth pair and unpair Bluetooth, your query would be better suited in the MSDN forum. I would suggest you to post your query in the MSDN forum.
