Bluetooth signal strength

[Marco Minerva]

Hi all!

It is possibile to retrieve the Bluetooth signal strength from a .NET
CF application? I'm using the OpenNET CF Library, but it seems not to
have a function like this.

Any help wuold be appreciated.

The Microsoft stack does not expose this information, not in any of the
documented functions at least.

And so, I must use P/Invoke to perform this task? Could anyone send me
an example of code?

Thanks in advance,

The point is that if there is a way to do it (and no one is saying there is)
it's not documented, so there would be no way to know what to P/Invoke.

Hi,

If you use WM 5.0, you can use the new State and Notifications Broker
API to retrieve system state information, there are lot of
functionnalities :
using Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status then :
SystemState.ConnectionsBluetoothDescriptions
you will get a semicolon delimited string containing the description of
each of the Bluetooth connections, perhaps you will have the signal
strength information...
