OBEXConnect (Function)

In french: OBEXConnecte

Used to connect to a device that supports the OBEX protocol.

Reminder: The OBEX protocol is a protocol for exchanging data via Infrared and Bluetooth.

Example

MacAddress is string
// Retrieve the MAC address of Bluetooth device
// The address is stored in a table column
MacAddress = TABLE_Devices.COL_MACAddr[TABLE_Devices]
// OBEX connection
EDT_OBEXID = OBEXConnect(obexBluetooth, MacAddress)

Syntax

<Result> = OBEXConnect(<Type of Device> [, <Device Address>])

<Result>: Integer

Connection identifier. This identifier will be used by the OBEX functions. This function returns no error. Indeed, the connection will be actually established when the next OBEX function is used.

<Type of Device>: Integer constant

Type of device used to exchange data:
obexBluetooth Transport of data performed by Bluetooth
obexInfrared Transport of data performed by infrared

<Device Address>: Optional character string (with quotes)

Address of the device used (for a Bluetooth device only): this address corresponds to the MAC address (returned by BTInfoDevice or BTListDevice).

Remarks

Only the Microsoft bluetooth stacks are supported by this function. To find out the stack used, call BTStack.

See Which stacks to use? for more details
