Has anybody had any experience setting up IPAQ 5455 Bluetooth. The plan is
to use the bluetooth for a serial transfer. The dongle for the serial
device has not arrived yet (ordered in July, suppose to be here this week).
How do I access the internal bluetooth. There does not seem to be any
documentation on it anywhere for VBCompact.net or any VB for that matter.
 
I have not experience with that particular hardware. But I have worked with
a iPaq 3850 and a Compaq Bluetooth jacket. What I usually do to work with a
serial port is to find a device with the serial service and then from my
application I use the COM 8 to send data. I only need to send data as I only
need to use the serial service to print. But it works just fine.
Probably if you see the registry (using the remote tool) you have to look
under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active and you will find the properly COM
port to use.

Roberto.
