Setting up the VS2005 environment for a Widcomm application

1) you need to go to the project properties (Project-> ProjectName Properties)
2) set the include directory (base_install_directory/BTH DK/SDK/Inc) under
the C/C++->General tab
3) set the additional library directory
(base_install_directory/BTH DK/SDK/Release) under the Linker->General
tab
4) add BtWdSdkLib.lib to the additional dependencies under the Linker->Input tab

Note that step 3 is different when programming for a 64 bit environment, you need to set the additional library directory to base_install_directory/BTH DK/SDK/Release/x64

When you create a Project, you need to include windows.h and BtIfDefinitions.h

The code for a simple app that does not but includes the necessary library and includes is:

#include iostream
#include windows.h
#include btifdefinitions.h

using namespace std;

int
main ()
{
return ( 0 );
}

Obviously none of this file has a purpose, it's just a basic template for a bluetooth app using the Widcomm SDK. Also, I had to cut out the <> for this post to avoid it viewing the include files as html code.
