My name is Matheus, and I am a Delphi programmer, and I need to know how

to get the coordinates of the current person using AW.

It's like this: I am developing a software that needs to know where (the

corrdinates NS, EW, A, facing) the person using AWBrowser is. How can I
accoplish this? I though about using some windows api functions, so,
anyone know any function that uses it? (doesn't need to be a Delphi
one!)

You could get the caption of the browser's foreground window by using the
Delphi WinAPI functions FindWindow('AlphaWorld', nil) and
GetWindowText(AWindow, TheText, 255), and then analyzing TheText into its
parts for the current coordinates. (If you need the altitude and certain
other attributes, you'll have to call the two functions again for each
appropriate status-bar window.) There is an excellent volume covering the
subject of accessing the Win32 API called "The Tomes of Delphi 3" by John
Ayres et al, from Wordware Publishing.
