Pairing / Connecting via Bluetooth

Hi,
Is there any way of pairing and connecting to a device automatically via FWPPC ?
or do the initial connections need to be done manually?

Jeff,
I think it has to be done manually
maybe there is an Windows API for it, but I have never seen it yet

Jeff,
My application has the option of using a Bluetooth barcode scanner as alternate input. I simply set up the device as a discoverable Serial Port Profile. I use standard FWPPC serial communications functions and when the corresponding port is initially opened then the Bluetooth link is established automatically if Bluetooth is enabled on the PDA. It works well but be sure to use a lengthy disconnect timeout on your Bluetooth device.
