Is there a function in C++ to get Lat, Lon from a Location object?

Say after you FindNearby and using the index thru the FindResults to get Location object (example: A restaurant), how to get Lat, lon for this restaurant?

this is what u can do

Location obj = new Location(); // I assume this object u r already having
obj.getLatLong().getLatitude();
obj.getLatLong().getLongitude();

Hi Kalradeepak,

The strang thing is that, I could not find where this function is
obj.getLatLong().getLatitude();

Below is the class wrapper imported by the typelib. Please explain where this function comes from.

// Location wrapper class

class Location : public COleDispatchDriver
{
public:
Location() {} // Calls COleDispatchDriver default constructor
Location(LPDISPATCH pDispatch) : COleDispatchDriver(pDispatch) {}
Location(const Location& dispatchSrc) : COleDispatchDriver(dispatchSrc) {}

// Attributes
public:

// Operations
public:
LPDISPATCH GetApplication();
LPDISPATCH GetParent();
CString GetName();
void GoTo();
LPDISPATCH GetLocation();
LPDISPATCH GetPlaceCategory();
LPDISPATCH FindNearby(double Distance);
BOOL GetHighlight();
void SetHighlight(BOOL bNewValue);
BOOL GetIsHighlightable();
double DistanceTo(LPDISPATCH From);
void Select();
void Copy();
LPDISPATCH GetStreetAddress();
long GetType();
};

That was me to say Thanks to Wilfried (I forgot to log in).

I've added the answer to the FAQ. It is a very common question, and I'll have to admit Gilles article is a very useful solution!
