“Turn Bluetooth On” with….

hogbreath · Posted: Sun Apr 18, 2004 7:04 pm Post subject: “Turn Bluetooth On” with….

Is it possible to setup button1 to switch Bluetooth on (not BT Manager).

why?

Would mean you don’t have to use the stylus when setting off, button1 to start BT, button2 for CheckPOInt, when activated button1 then set to Navigate home in ttn.

Probably dreaming as I suspect the answer is no! Wink

This is not something you can do with standard Windows tools - but I am pretty sure with a bit of programming such a switch could be done. What's your hardware, and what's your BTM version?

I don't have any 2003 devices so I can't test it but the below code should do the trick

Lutz, many thanks, hope i can return the work you've done.

How do i turn the code into an exe prog, assuming this is going into the start menu 8O

You will need to find someone with eVC++ 4.0 and the PocketPC 2003 SDK to compile the code into an .exe file for the ARM platform. Anyone volunteering?

In the meantime I will check if I can come up with a more generic solution (one that works on Pocket PC 2002 as well).

Anyone else think this is worth having, other than Lutz & myself

I have an Ipaq 3970 on 2002, would love a shortcut to a button for BT on, it is a pain in the proverbial having to stylus turn on BT, then button for Checkpoint. Any ideas for a Win 2002 user?

I also agree this would be useful

I learned that I need the WidComm SDK for that. I am not even sure it is openly available. If anyone has information on that I'll be happy to code this little proggie.

Why not just leave bluetooth turned on?

I submitted a reply to this thread a couple of weeks ago, but it seems to have vanished!

The solution I use to do this is ButtonMax from PocketMax:
http://www.pocketmax.net/buttonMax.htm
It allows you to record macros which can then be played back by pressing one of the buttons. My own macro to toggle bluetooth on/off is activated by double-clicking button 3.

Your reply WAS there - I saw it and tried it! I can't see why it would have been deleted.

Anyway, I couldn't get ButtonMax to work - I recorded macros, but they simply didn't run Crying or Very sad

What PPC do you have?

Recording and playing back macros is very subtle, especially on the PocketPC. It requires very lew level communication deep inside the kernel (SendMessage etc). Maybe one of your other programs is intercepting these messages (a taskbar utility for example)
