Syntax
<Result> = MapInfoPosition(<Map control> , <Position>)
<Result>: Character string
Coordinates of the point corresponding to the geographical position. The coordinates are returned in the following format:
<X> + TAB + <Y>
<Map control>: Control name
Name of the Map control to be used. If this parameter corresponds to an empty string (""), the Map control to which the current event belongs will be used.
<Position>: geoPosition variable
Name of a variable of type geoPosition corresponding to the geographical position with the desired coordinates on the map.
Remarks
  • The coordinates returned by MapInfoPosition can correspond to a point that is not currently visible in the Map control (negative coordinates for example).
  • The calculation of position takes into account the zoom level in the Map control during the call to the function. The higher the zoom level is, the more precise the coordinates will be.
