Doing it in this manner allows the list to be updated as the devices are found. So, how you do it depends on what you're trying to achieve. In this case the demo app is scanning for and listing devices, so in this case it's appropriate.

You will probably never get a valid handle from GetBLEHandle. Your code in main() does not check the return value and the function itself is not working as expected: if (!SetupDiGetDeviceInterfaceDetail(hDI, &did, NULL, 0, &size, 0)) { int err = GetLastError(); if (err == ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS)...

There is some bug in the API. Read this article at Stack overflow with some additional hints for an update. Your code flow is buggy. Never re-use a handle multiple times, it is a unique sysetm resource. And dont close a handle multiple time, but set the value to NULL when done!!!
