How to get MAC address of bluetooth HID device?

how can I get the MAC address of a bluetooth device which connected as HID device?

I have handle to the device

Handle = CreateFile(didetail->DevicePath, 0, FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE, 0, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);

but I can't find how to get the MAC address.

Solution

  • At first I was going to say you should pipe the results of ipconfig/all into a file, but then I found this:

    Scroll halfway down to GetAdaptersInfo, that should be what you're looking for.
