Hello,

In Win2000 when I call "SetupDiRemoveDevice" it removes bluetooth
device from "Device Manager".
But it still works fine ( I have installed third party bluetooth
driver for Win2000).
And GUID_DEVCLASS_BLUETOOTH in "SetupDiGetClassDevs" doesn't works in
win2000.


If you remove the driver, the device will be left unattached, and Windows
will install the best driver for it at the next opportunity.

If you want to disable, as you first said, try something along these lines
(this is C++/CLI code, but the steps should be readily apparent, mostly you
want to replace the error handling):

void Device::Disable( void )

{

SP_PROPCHANGE_PARAMS params;

params.ClassInstallHeader.cbSize = sizeof (SP_CLASSINSTALL_HEADER);

params.ClassInstallHeader.InstallFunction = DIF_PROPERTYCHANGE;

params.Scope = DICS_FLAG_GLOBAL;

params.HwProfile = 0;

params.StateChange = DICS_DISABLE;

if (!SetupDiSetClassInstallParamsW((HDEVINFO)deviceSet,
(PSP_DEVINFO_DATA)deviceData, &params.ClassInstallHeader, sizeof params))

throw gcnew WinapiException();

if (!SetupDiCallClassInstaller(DIF_PROPERTYCHANGE, (HDEVINFO)deviceSet,
(PSP_DEVINFO_DATA)deviceData))

throw gcnew WinapiException();

}

So how can I find out installed bluetooth device in PC.

Thanx


Ya Thanks

Your code sample was very helpful.
It too works fine for WinXP SP2.
But I am facing problem with "Windows 2000".
I have installed "BlueSoleil" driver on Windows 2000.
I am able to find out arrival of bluetooth device(In win2k using
device class desc).
But unable to disble it. The same code work fine for WinXP.
