Hello, I'm quite new in Mac OS X and I'm working on an application to

use a Bluetooth headset to the Mac. I will use the C API:s, but I

think it is quite hard to find out how to use them, not to much

documentation.

My first question is, how can I generate or find the

IOBluetoothDeviceRef needed for almost every C API.

From IOBluetoothUserLib.h extern IOBluetoothDeviceRef IOBluetoothDeviceCreateWithAddress(BluetoothDeviceAddress *bdAddr); Pass in the device address you are interested in, and it will return you a device to use. As you have discovered, the easier way to do this by using the UI elements available from Cocoa do not work with Carbon. Without access to the inquiry functions, you really cannot cook your own UI either. We are looking at some things in this area.

Second, is it possible to use the Paired devices from the Bluetooth

system preferences, or must i build from the application with an own

Pairing window?

Paired devices are system-wide, so any device paired in the Prefs will be paired for your application as well.

The last question is, when I want to use the Headset I relly need the

SCO connection to transmitt the voice. I have not found any SCO

connection API and I wounder any API is developed for this kind of

application?

There is currently not an API for SCO connections in the stack, so you will run into a rather large and hard wall here. This is something we are looking at for a future release. Its priority depends largely on the demand for SCO links. I assume I should add you to the list of requests. -larson _______________________________________________ bluetooth-dev mailing list | bluetooth-dev@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/bluetooth-dev Do not post admin requests to the list.
