Connecting to any random device is not sensible. A better way is to check that the device you are about to establish a connection with is able to provide the required functionality.

This could be used, for example, to decide the appropriate icon with which to represent a device to the user. The class of device is got through <xref href="GUID-0ECE42E1-5E04-3BFB-BA17-F8036510798D.dita#GUID-0ECE42E1-5E04-3BFB-BA17-F8036510798D/GUID-67A45289-4919-3B0B-BE96-95202940D198"><apiname>TInquirySockAddr::MajorClassOfDevice()</apiname></xref> after an address inquiry. </p> <p>How it works: </p> <ol id="GUID-D7C0ECC4-38E7-592A-A3B3-ECAADE5665E9"><li id="GUID-B94C52B2-54DC-53DF-8ABC-C750ED23FBFD"><p>Perform a device inquiry. </p> </li> <li id="GUID-A3DC575B-0378-5CB1-89B6-64549BDC83DC"><p>Check the class of device. </p> </li> <li id="GUID-13A46F03-5475-5DB2-8DDF-D23BF17C2AE3"><p>Make the connect or pass decision. </p> </li> </ol> <p>When the service discovery provided by the class of device is not adequate to determine which device to select, use the SDP Agent, discussed below. </p> <p><b>Using the Bluetooth SDP Agent</b> </p> <p>The Bluetooth SDP database contains information about the services available on a device. Service discovery queries can be used on each device found to establish if it is a suitable choice. SDP queries are performed through the <xref href="GUID-2F1C6B4C-2C23-5A35-A0D2-223EC6238F7D.dita">Bluetooth Service Discovery Agent Overview</xref>. </p> <p>You can use the SDP Agent to discover the services available on a device and to look up specific attributes of a service. Several tutorials exist to show how the SDP Agent is used.
