  BLUETOOTH_SELECT_DEVICE_PARAMS *pbtsdp
);

Parameters

pbtsdp

A pointer to a BLUETOOTH_SELECT_DEVICE_PARAMS structure that identifies Bluetooth devices.

Remarks

The BluetoothSelectDevices function opens a common dialog box for selecting Bluetooth devices. The list of devices displayed to the user is determined by the flags and settings the caller specifies in the pbtsdp parameter.

If BluetoothSelectDevices returns TRUE, the pDevices member of the BLUETOOTH_SELECT_DEVICE_PARAMS structure points to valid data. The caller should verify that the fAuthenticated and fRemembered flags in the BLUETOOTH_SELECT_DEVICE_PARAMS structure to determine which devices were successfully authenticated, and which devices are valid selections for the user.
