Register todayILocation interface (locationapi.h)
[The Win32 Location API is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. Instead, use the Windows.Devices.Geolocation API. ]
Provides methods used to manage location reports, event registration, and sensor permissions.
The ILocation interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. ILocation also has these types of members:
The ILocation interface has these methods.
| ILocation::GetDesiredAccuracy Retrieves the current requested accuracy setting. |
| ILocation::GetReport Retrieves a location report. |
| ILocation::GetReportInterval Retrieves the requested amount of time, in milliseconds, between report events. |
| ILocation::GetReportStatus Retrieves the status for the specified report type. |
| ILocation::RegisterForReport Requests location report events. |
| ILocation::RequestPermissions Opens a system dialog box to request user permission to enable location devices. |
| ILocation::SetDesiredAccuracy Specifies the accuracy to be used. |
| ILocation::SetReportInterval Specifies the requested minimum amount of time, in milliseconds, between report events. |
| ILocation::UnregisterForReport Stops event notifications for the specified report type. |
When CoCreateInstance is called to create an ILocation object, it may result in a notification being displayed in the taskbar, and a Location Activity event being logged in Event Viewer, if it is the application's first use of location.
