Discovering OBEX Devices (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

Device discovery enables clients to discover other OBEX devices that are in range, regardless of their protocol. To obtain a list of available devices, clients call the IObex::EnumDevices method.

Another and probably preferred method for device discovery is using IConnectionPointContainer and IObexSink interfaces.

To make device discovery notifications by using IConnectionPointContainer and IObexSink:

1. Create an IObex object by calling the CoCreateInstance method.
2. Call QueryInterface on the IObex object to retrieve an IConnectionPointContainer reference.
3. Call the FindConnectionPoint method on the IConnectionPointContainer reference. This method receives a pointer to the IConnectionPoint interface of a connection point.
4. Implement IObexSink and create an object of this class.
5. Call the Advise method on the IConnectionPoint reference retrieved by FindConnectionPoint and pass the IObexSink object as a parameter.
6. Call the StartDeviceEnum method on the IObex object.
