I have read old forum posts that bluetooth pairing was not supported on older versions of Labview but what about LV 2009? I am trying to write product test code that will programatically pair a bluetooth headset with a USB bluetooth dongle on Windows XP/7 machines. Rather than having to use the typical Windows "My Bluetooth Places" to discover and pair to a bluetooth headset I have a need to write Labview code that will allow the user to enter in a Bluetooth address and then connect to it. I know I can do Bluetooth device discovery with LV2009 and I already have a VI for that but now I am looking for a way to programatically pair to it. I will need to have the ability to input the Bluetooth security code/PIN of the device during the pairing process. Has anyone else done this through Labview and if so how did you do it?

Hi aaronb,
Unfortunately, there's not a native LabVIEW implementation for Bluetooth pairing yet, but it has been suggested a number of times. I did find this example where someone was able to use a .NET control for pairing a Wiimote - hopefully that will work for your application as well: http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-9799.

This will allow you to programmatically pair with a bluetooth device.
You will also have to download the dotnet files from 32feet

Hi, I realize this is an old vi, but I'm trying to programmatically pair to a bluetooth device and I thought this might help, but it missing the Check-un-check listbox (SubVI).vi can you post it please.
