Overview
Google Contacts is used to manage contacts on the Internet. WINDEV and WEBDEV allow you to create an application for synchronizing the contacts of an existing program with the contacts of Google Contact.

How to manage the Google contacts?

Managing the Google contacts

To manage the Google contacts:
  1. Create a Google account if necessary. This account can be created via the following address: http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/maps/signup.html. Caution: the address of this page may have changed since this page was written.
    The Google account is identified by an email address and the associated password.
  2. In the code of your application, create a variable of type gglConnection. This variable contains the characteristics of the connection to your Google account.

Creating a Google contact

A Google contact can be created via the Google interface or through programming with the WLanguage functions.
To create a Google contact with the WLanguage functions:
  1. Create a variable of type gglContact.
  2. Define the characteristics of the contact with the gglContact properties.
  3. Validate the creation of the contact with GglWrite.

Remark

If you use a proxy to access Internet, the proxy must be configured (Proxy) to use Google functions.
How to retrieve a Google contact?
To retrieve a Google contact:
  1. Declare an array of gglContact variables.
  2. Use the GglListContact function. This function is used to list the contacts. The contacts found are assigned to the array of gglContact variables.
Example:
Cnt is gglConnection
...
// Retrieves all the contacts
arrContacts is array of 0 gglContact
arrContacts = GglListContact(Cnt)
// Browse the contacts
MyContact is gglContact
FOR EACH MyContact OF arrContacts
Trace(MyContact.Name)
END
How to modify or delete Google contacts?

Principle

The principle is straightforward: You must find and position on the contact to modify or delete before performing the requested operation.

Modifying a contact

To modify a contact:
  1. Retrieve the list of contacts.
  2. Find the contact to modify.
  3. Modify the characteristics of the contact.
  4. Validate the modifications with GglWrite.
Example:
Cnt is gglConnection
...
 
// Retrieves all the contacts
arrContacts is array of 0 gglContact
arrContacts = GglListContact(Cnt)
// Browse the contacts
MyContact is gglContact
FOR EACH MyContact OF arrContacts
IF MyContact.Name = "MOORE" THEN
MyContact.PostalAddress[1].Address = "34080 Montpellier"
// Actually update the changes on the server
GglWrite(Cnt, MyContact)
END
END

Deleting a contact

To delete a contact:
  1. Retrieve the list of contacts.
  2. Find the contact to delete.
  3. Delete the contact with GglDelete.
Example:
Cnt is gglConnection
...
 
// Retrieves all the contacts
arrContacts is array of 0 gglContact
arrContacts = GglListContact(Cnt)
// Browse the contacts
MyContact is gglContact
FOR EACH MyContact OF arrContacts
IF MyContact.Name = "MOORE" THEN
// Deletion
GglDelete(Cnt, MyContact)
END
END
