I downloaded ProximLock but when I click Discover, I get an error that says the "index was outside the bounds of the array" Based on the debugging information, it runs GetBluetoothDevices(), clears the combobox and arraylist and throws the error. Is this because it did not find my device and there is nothing to put in the combobox? I have a Kensington Bluetooth Adaptor providing the Bluetooth to the desktop and it is on XP PRO. Thoughts?
GrumpyCoder,
Thanks for the feedback... clearly my testing was not sufficient. I have corrected this problem and posted the new rev to the download area.
What is happening is no BlueTooth devices are being found on your system. This passed a null HashTable into an assignment loop and... splat.
Remember you will need your bluetooth radio in your desktop and some other bluetooth device... like a phone.
Give it another go and let me know how it turns out.
Thanks again!
Rusty
Hi
I have installed proximlock, but clicking discover doesn't seem to find the device (paired nokia phone) with asus bluetooth dongle - any suggestions?
Hi Rusty,
I have the same prob as Tim. I installed the latest ProxyLock and No Luck :(
I do have other BT software running and all works great, so that rules out the Hardware issues i may have.
Any recommendations??
Thanks
Graeme
