Title: BluetoothRemoveDevice()
Post by: MrPaulCarpenter on January 16, 2020, 07:41:15 PM
I need a way to remove a Bluetooth device from inside of a running program.  When making BT-BLE connections to our proprietary device, unpairing before making a connection, improves the success rate.
For Win-10 I use the BluetoothRemoveDevice() function in BluetoothAPIs.dll

But I am having trouble using this from Win-7, because the DLL appears to not be part of the O/S and when copied into system32 , it is dependent on other DLLs.  Various blogs have recommended NOT copying all the DLLs that it depends on.

When I search through the source code for WCL I see a private functions BluetoothRemoveDevice()  If I made this public, would it do the job?

Hi,

Bluetooth Framework does not have such function. Unfortunately the question is outside the Bluetooth Framework. Its better to ask from Micrtosoft directly.


Bluetooth Framework provides wclBluetoothRadio.RemoteUnpair() for such things.
