Supported Profiles
The Library supports the following Bluetooth profiles:
- File Transfer Profile (OBEX FTP)
Provides the capability to browse, manipulate and transfer objects (files and folders) in an object store (file system) of another system. - Object Push Profile (OBEX OPP)
A basic profile for sending "objects" such as pictures, virtual business cards, or appointment details. It is called push because the transfers are always instigated by the sender (client), not the receiver (server). - Serial Port Profile (SPP)
This profile is based on the ETSI TS 07.10 specification and uses the RFCOMM protocol. It emulates a serial cable to provide a simply implemented wireless replacement for existing RS-232 based serial communications applications, including familiar control signals. It provides the basis for DUN, FAX, HSP and AVRCP profiles.
Wireless Communication Library supports Virtual COM Ports creation for SPP and DUN profiles. - Hands Free Profile (HFP)
Only with BlueSoleil Bluetooth drivers. - Other profiles
SDK provides possability to create and use any custom RFCOMM based profiles.
Bluetooth Proximity Marketing Support
The Bluetooth SDK includes special designed classes for rapid developing Proximity Marketing Applications. The classes allow you to discovery dievices and send content to them. With using those classes you can control lot of parameters and have complete information about sending process and result.

WiiMote (Wii Remote) Support
The Wireless Communication Library and its Bluetooth API provides easy to use classes and methods for WiiMote support. WCL supports all the WiiMote extentions such as: Nunchuk, Classic Controller, Wii Zapper, Wii Wheel, Wii MotionPlus and others. The Library supports direct Bluetooth connection to a WiiMote controle which doesn't require any additional actions from your application users to configure WiiMote or your PC. However, it also can be used with "old" methods (HID connection).
You can find more information about WiiMote support in WCL on the WiiMote page.
