Stored procedures
The Address type is used to manipulate the address of a place or person. An address is defined by a postal address (street, city, state, zip code, country) and/or a geographic position (latitude and longitude). The characteristics of this address can be defined and changed via different WLanguage properties.
Remark: For more details on the declaration of this type of variable and the use of WLanguage properties, see Declaring a variable.
Example
MyAddress is Address
MyAddress.City = "Paris"
MyAddress.Country = "France"
// Centers the map displayed by the "MAP_Position" control from an address
MapDisplayPosition(MAP_Position, MyAddress)
