Supportes BT Dongle types

[Abo Majed]

Hi,
I want to thanks you Mike about all the efforts you made and still making . it is a great library.
I am new to bluetooth programming and I am using the demo component with delphi and still doing my test on it. but I noticed that not all the BT dongles are working.
I did a little research  ...I think the BT Dongle must support GOEP, am I right...
if not, please guide me what are the supported BT dongles to use with the frame work.

thanks is advance.

Good day!

Thank you.

Well. I have not seen BT dongle wich not work with library. Only some models can't be used with Microsoft Bluetooth drivers (WinXP + SP2). But this models can be used with any other drivers (WidComm or BlueSoleil or Toshiba).
The main requirement is: Dongle should support HCI. I have never test it with non-UDB dongles.
GOEP is a software feature and does not required form BT dongle. Because any Bluetooth profiles is a software implementable.

I am evaluating the VCL demo version for a project.
I am using the Belkin Bluetooth Technology USB adapter and it is working fine ( I can see devices in My Bluetooth Places\Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood).

When I run the demo version, on the system tab, I can see:
-   Transports; serial ports
-   BluetoothAPI : none are selected.
When I press the Discovery, on the Bluetooth Discovery tab, I get the message:
Bluetooth transport not available.

Could you please help and tell me what I am missing here?

Thank you

Good day!

Seems you are using WidComm drivers (usually shipped with Belkin). All you need to do ust simple copy DLL from WidComm folder of the BTF package into the Windows/Syste,32 directory (or into the directory where your executable file located).

Dear Mike,
Thanks a lot for your reply, and sorry I was unable to follow up with you cus I had Hepatitis A ..... and had to stay at home for more than 3 weeks...
now I am back  and I'll tell you what is the situation.
I found a BT Adabter in the local market, it is from Promate http://www.promate.net/promate/Product_Page.aspx?id=11
it is working perfectly when I am dealing with one mobile. but when the discovery service returns more than one mobile device....then the Mass sender application will only send the files to the first mobile and indicate an ingone reply from the rest of devices. (by they way... the rest of devices do not even show the connect request).

Thanks in Advance for your Help..

Good day!

With wich Bluetooth drivers it works. If with WidComm - you need latest version of the Lib, but it nt available in demo.

Good Day mike..

[Mike Petrichenko]

Did you write OnDeviceAccept and OnNeedFile events handlers?

[Abo Majed]

No, I Tested it on your demo without any modifications. (I am using Delphi 7 demo) 

[Mike Petrichenko]

Interesting. Can you say wich devices you are using?
