Hello,

I an requested to obtain the most acurate geolocation in my Xbase++
application.
I found this on microsoft website:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/maps-and-location/get-location

I Try:  
   oLocation := XbpActiveXControl():New(SELF, , {0,0}, aSize)
   oLocation:CLSID  := "Windows.Devices.Geolocation"
,
   oLocation:CLSID  := "Devices.Geolocation"
,
   oLocation:CLSID  := "Geolocation"

In all cases is fails to oLocation:Create()

Does enyone can help me ?

Regards,
Jack Duijf

Jack,

>https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/maps-and-location/get-location

This documentation is part of the UWP (Universal Windows Platform), so it 
can't be used by Xbase++ (or other Desktop/Win32 API) programs.

Instead, look at the Active-X COM-Interfaces of the Location API:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/locationapi/com-interfaces

So, you should be able to use:

oLocation := CreateObject("LocationApi")

Hope that helps,

Andreas
