Hi Fernando,
Thanks for your reply. I know the address of the remote device. But I want
to use the program to check out the remote device to see if it is turned on
first before I connect to it. If I establish the connection directly without
checking out its status, it may return failure during CreateFile. That's why
would like to check out if there is any function that is similar to
"BthGetHardwareStatus" which is used for checking out the status of the
remote device. Any possibility of doing this?
Thanks...
Best Regards,
Chen
