Location API on Windows 10 for Desktop applications C++

Question

it seems that location API is legacy(?). It does not work the GetReport(...) but works ok if you set RegisterForReport(...) The error I get is the follow

drivers\mobilepc\locationconvergence\api\winlegacyapi\dllapi\legacyapiimpltemplate.h(197)\LocationApi.dll!06552CA7: (caller: 06552D34) ReturnHr[PreRelease](1) tid(478) 8007139F The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.

    [CLegacyPositionRequest::GetReport(__super::GetReport(ReportType, ppLocationReport))]

I must say here that RequestPermissions(...) works fine and returns OK. The same application on windows 8.1 works fine. Anyone any idea?

Thank you in advance George

Answer 1

I bypassed the problem by implementing the event driven location report. Probably Windows 10 initialize slower the location than windows 8 , since the hardware is the same. I give it a 3 seconds report interval and reports back the lat/lon
