What can you do with BluetoothView ?

- Each time that a new device is detected, BluetoothView automatically displays an alert as a balloon in your taskbar.This means that you can detect when your neighbors/friends/family members are coming even before they knock on your door...
System Requirements
- Bluetooth Dongle and device driver that works with the standard Bluetooth module of Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7.
- Windows XP/SP2, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.Other versions of Windows don't provide a build-in support for Bluetooth, and thusBluetoothView cannot work with them.
Start Using BluetoothView
BluetoothView doesn't require any installation process or additional DLL files. In order to start using it,simply copy the executable file (BluetoothView.exe) to any folder you like, and run it.A few seconds after you run it, BluetoothView will start to gradually display all detected Bluetooth around you.
The 'Company Name' Column
Starting from version 1.10, BluetoothView allows you to view the company name of each BluetoothView device.The company name is determined according to the Bluetooth address.However, in order to get this feature, you must download the following external file, and put in the same folderof BluetoothView.exe: http://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.txtBe aware that you must save it as 'oui.txt'
The Description Column
In addition to the name of Bluetooth device, you can set your own short description to allow you to easily detect the device in the future. The description that you set will also be displayed in the taskbar balloon, whenthe device is detected as a new one.In order to set a description, double-click the desired item, and in the 'Description' field, simply typethe description text and click 'OK'.
Custom Timeout Value
In 'Advanced Options' window, you can set a custom timeout value for the bluetooth scanning.The timeout value is defined in units of 1.28 seconds.If you set a low timeout value (around 5), the scanning process will be relatively fast, but there is a risk that some bluetooth devices won't be detected, esepcially if they are located in a greater distance.If you set a relatively high timeout value (15 or more), the scanning process will be slow, but the device detection will work a little better.Connecting To Bluetooth Device
Starting from version 1.20, BluetoothView allows you to connect the desired Bluetooth devices.BluetoothView doesn't send any information to the device, it only tries to connect the device for testing purposes, and then closes the connection.Blue Shell Bluetooth Software Free
When you choose the 'Try To Connect' option, BluetoothView automatically send a connection request to the selected devices.On the device, you should get a qesution like 'Do you want to accept data from xyz'. If you choose yes, the connection will be succeeded. Otherwise it'll be failed. The connection result is displayed in the 'Connection Result' column

The Lite Bluetooth Shell is a set of Delphi VCL-components for an easy management of serial Bluetooth connections.
Bluetooth Software Windows 10
Lite Bluetooth Shell is the most easy way to to establish serial Bluetooth connections and manage Bluetooth devices programmatically.
The management of Bluetooth devices under various Windows desktop and Windows tablet versions is always different. The user of your Delphi application is left alone with the establishment of a Bluetooth connection using the Windows Control Panel. This leads to unnecessary support and requires additional explanation away from your actual Delphi application. This is exactly where the 'Shell' takes over. Apart from the actual Bluetooth connection - the shell provides an uniform GUI to select and manage Bluetooth devices programmatically under different Windows versions. | |
| The GUI is multilingual and supports actually English, German, French and Spanish . The GUI may displayed opionally in a Metropolis -Design for tablets, even using Delphi 7! | |
