Very often in mobile apps we have the need to either record the physical location of the device or we have a need to get the location of a device for other things such as showing maps, etc.
WebApp doesnt have built in support for GEO Location handling
StarZen Technologies built a custom control for WebApp that allows you to easily add GEO Location handling to your web applications
Adding support for GEO Location is very easy
Simply add an object of class cszGEOLocation
Object oGEOLocationHelper is a cszGEOLocation Set pbServerOnLocationChanged to True // automatically aquire location on creating the control on the client side? // this happens only the first time the control is created in the browser // Set pbAutoLocation to True/False Procedure OnLocationChanged Integer iStatus String sLongitude String sLatitude String sErrorMessage sStatusTime Integer iLastErrorCode WebGet psStatusTime of oGEOLocationHelper to sStatusTime WebGet psLastError of oGEOLocationHelper to sErrorMessage WebGet piLastErrorCode of oGEOLocationHelper to iLastErrorCode WebSet psValue of oStatus to iStatus WebSet psValue of oStatusTime to sStatusTime WebSet psValue of oLongitude to sLongitude WebSet psValue of oLatitude to sLatitude WebSet psValue of oLastError to (trim(iLastErrorCode)+" - "+trim(sErrorMessage)) End_Procedure End_Object
There is a property called pbAutoLocation that allows the user to control whether the GEO Location object will automatically attempt to get location on creation.
The class has an event called OnLocationChanged that fires whenever a location is found
The class also has a method called RequestGetLocation that asks the control to get a new location. This location will then be returned by a call to the OnLocationChanged event.
This class as well as others are available from StarZen Technologies, Inc.
