WinCE

In one of my previous posts, I mentioned about cloning OALIOCTL, was thinking of writing about it. But Bruce have already written about. And it was my reference too. So check it out

Hi :)
First of all sorry guys, for the leave of absence, I have been busy lately.

In one of the tasks assigned for me, I had to bring the system back in to ON mode from idle, when any bluetooth activity happens. Activity in the sense, authentication request or a file transfer start etc.

File transfer or any other requests (except for pin request), can be tackled my monitoring the bluetooth stack events. But an authentication request cannot be obtained using the same. The the authentication ui for bluetooth is located in

WINCE600\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\BLUETOOTH\SAMPLE\BTSVC

Its a service (BTSVC), and can modified directly or cloned By AuthenticationDlgProc and the corresponding dialog in the resource file, we can easily modify the behaviour during a bluetooth authentication request. Or a new application can be provided with the same functionality, do doing so , this service must be removed first as only one type of authentication ui will be allowed at a time.

Here is a nice article by Bruce Eitman for cloning public code
