WCL in Service

[novice]

Good Day

hi

Can i use wcl.net in Windows Service
i tried to a create windows service that will discover bluetooth , but the problem is it not discovering i tried my  code in  windows application and it works fine , but in service, events is not working ,it doesnt trigerr OnDiscoveryStarted, and OnDiscoveryComplete.
to discover i use
int intierror = wclBluetoothDiscovery1.Discovery(wclradio,15);

do you have some idea wahat would be the reason, is there anything that i have to configure to be able to use wcl in windows service

                   
Thanks

Hi,

it is possible but yur service must have message loop.

Good Day

What do mean by message loop?

Thanks

[Mike Petrichenko]

Window Mesage Loop. WCL is based on windows messages and requires the message loop to process the messages.

I have the same problem too.
I searched throw the web, but I just found some examples for C++, I found anything for VB.net...

Would be great if you create ticket on support.btframework.com with link to this post. So I can not forget to write the sample for VB.NET. Just please, explaing what would you like to do (what kind of sample you need).
Thanks.

Hi,

Please, find the attached file with WCL in Service demos. Note that not all Bluetooth stacks can be called from Service application.

Thank you for this example.
I thinked I could add other parts bu myself, but there is not working... Infact, I need a ProximitySenderDemo as a Windows service, I tried to add parts but it is not moving on

[Mike Petrichenko]

It is very bad idea to add wclProximitySender into service because it will work with MS only then

[fabio.santini]

It would not be a problem.

Is there something I should add for letting ProximitySender work?

Hi,

You have to remove usage of wclBluetoothDiscovery from demo code and add wclProximitySender. Also you need to add logic and even handlers.
