Hi, I have just started looking at the new bluetooth APIs in preparation of upgrading my existing application to use them. I was immediately concerned with the fact one must use the apple provided service browser to select devices. The product I am responsible for is an internet dialer, in which we allow connection to cell phones via serial, usb, infrared and bluetooth. Due to the nature of complexity that can actually be involved in getting particular models of cell phones to work ( we work with 50+ of them, all of which have their own little quirks ), we have an integrated device selection wizard that has a consistent look and feel across port types and platforms. No matter which connection method the user selects, the wizard maintains the look and feel, and even more important than that, our wizard behaves and looks the same on the windows counterpart of our product. The Service Browser is completely incompatible with this mentality. As usual, I understand and respect apples decisions to keep the functionality wrapped by the browser private. True, even if it messes up the consistency of our product, it will at least be consistent with other bluetooth enabled applications on OS X. However, where is the localization? We currently ship in five languages, english being the only one I seem to be able to get the browser to appear in! I notice there are localized strings in the UI framework for all the languages I require, but as far as I can tell the nib files are not localized. Rather, when I attempt to open them interface builder does nothing, and regardless of which languages I select in System Preferences the browser only appears in english. Anyone care to address this? Am I simply missing something? - Morgan ----------------------- Morgan Redman Xybec Solutions www.xybec.com ----------------------- _______________________________________________ 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.
