Hey everyone,
I'm a beginner in c++ and I'm trying to connect to my garmin watch via bluetooth. The watch is connected on w10, with bluetooth LE explorer i can see the UUID and service ID for the heartrate. I'm looking for a simple way to connect to it from c++ and read the data.
The last 2 days i've been trying even c++ builder, all kinds of libraries but can't connect.
I'm surprised i can't find simple examples online, bluetooth and windows doesn't seem to be quite simple.
Does anyone have an example on this?

So, I've gotten one stop further, I'm using this code: GitHub - urish/win-ble-cpp: Proof of Concept - BLE on Windows (for Web Bluetooth)[^]
I've put in my shortcodes for the service and charachteristic and the code manages to complete them for the right UUID's so I assume it connects!
these are the shortcodes and ID's, next up, how can i read the values from these?
auto characteristicUUID = Bluetooth::BluetoothUuidHelper::FromShortId(0x2A37);

Sorry, I cannot answer that. Once you have established a connection then the data passed between the stations will depend on the devices being used. Check the technical documents for the watch you are using.

Ok, I'm getting closer:
auto leDevice = co_await Bluetooth::BluetoothLEDevice::FromBluetoothAddressAsync(264540343013609);
auto naam = leDevice->Name;
auto servicesResult = co_await leDevice->GetGattServicesForUuidAsync(serviceUUID);
auto service = servicesResult->Services->GetAt(0);
auto characteristicsResult = co_await service->GetCharacteristicsForUuidAsync(characteristicUUID);
auto test = characteristicsResult->Characteristics->First();
auto characteristic = characteristicsResult->Characteristics->GetAt(0);
So firts line, i'm putting in the mac address manually, i check if the name corresponds and indeed it's my garmin. Then i put in the service and charateristic for the heart rate service. Now i'm stuck, how could I get the heart rate value out of this? I read somewhere that it's the first byte but don't know how to extract this

As I told you earlier, you need to check the documentation for your device. The format of the data it sends will only be documented by the manufacturer.

@Richard, I'm looking for people who have practical advise in this, I'm new to c++ and to everything i'm trying to do here, I've been struggeling for days. There is also not a lot to find on the internet regarding this. If you don't know the answer that's ok, you don't need to answer. I'm not posting on here to get 'check the documentation' answers.

As I keep pointing out, the format of the data that will be presented by the device is specific to that device. So the only way to find out what it is, and what format it is sent in, is to get the technical documentation for the device. It is not a C++ issue.

thanks for hijacking this question, you spend days and days trying to work stuff out, put a question up for help to get this... Don't you have anything better to do? Incredible

What do you mean? I have tried to help you and I have told you where to find the information you need.

And Richard is trying to lessen that time by giving you some sage advice. This is how integrations work, if devices are spitting out data in certain format (and many times that format is specific to the vendor) it is up to YOU to determine (by looking at available vendor documentation) and code for this format.

Ow boy, i started by telling i'm a complete beginner and was looking for people who have experience in this. I'm not looking for dataformats, i'm looking to connect w10 bluetooth through c++ not a lot to find on the interwebz, so if anyone has had succesfull experience with this please answer this thread.

You're not going to find anyone who has experience SPECIFIC TO YOUR DEVICE. You're getting the correct advice, and as a beginner, you need to learn that the best source of information on a specific device is the manufacturer of that device.

years ago i made some mvc apps, the help i got on codeproject was incredible.
Seems this is down the drain, none of you 3 are even reading my question, in stead of thinking about an answer (why else would you responsd to a question?) it's rtfm and acting hurt.

I have read it. THe advice you've gotten gets you to the point right after successfully connecting to the device. Reading data from it is device dependant, and that is where the CP advice ends and the manufacturer advice begins.

You are making a huge assumption that anyone here, beside yourself, has any experience with talking to a "garmin watch via bluetooth."

That almost looks like tools one could use to read data from a Garmin device. I wonder if it would help the OP!

I wanted to navigate to a page in PDF file.
Theoretically, this could be done with ShellExecute (NULL, "open", "Path \ File", param1, NULL, SW_NORMAL), where
param1 = "# page = 123" or "/ A page = 123" or "/ A \" page = 123 \ ""; then the PDF file is opened, but the page is not activated.
You could do the same thing by opening PDF and then navigating to the page. It's a good idea, but it has the disadvantage that I don't know either.
Does anyone know?
Thanks for the answers

It will depend on which application actually opens the PDF file.

You don't "control the PDF". You have to control the application that is opening and displaying the PDF file.
How you do that depends entirely on the application you're using to display the PDF. There's probably going to be applications where you don't have that control.
You can do it if the machine has Acrobat Reader installed it, which is what the previous answer is using.

Hello.
I'm trying to get text data from another program.
The window handle was found.
Please check the image link.
CLICK Here - Attach Image Link
But I'm not sure what to do next.
Should I use something similar to the GetDlgCtrlID method?
I do not know.
The return is -1.
Please advise.
thank you.
