Remarks

On Windows CE platforms this calls BthPairRequest, its MSDN remarks say:

“BthPairRequest passes the parameters to the BthSetPIN function and creates an ACL connection. Once the connection is established, it calls the BthAuthenticate function to authenticate the device.”

On Windows XP/Vista platforms this calls BluetoothAuthenticateDevice, if the pin argument is set to null a Wizard is displayed to accept a PIN from the user, otherwise the function executes in transparent mode.
