VB6 - Get lattitude and longitude on mouse click in Google Map

Hi

I have this application in VB6 with a brwWebBrowser.

When the form open, it runs:

  StartingAddress = "http://www.8051projects.info/maps.asp?lat=" & Text1.Text & "&lon=" & Text2.Text
      'Try to navigate to the starting address
        brwWebBrowser.Navigate StartingAddress

Open in new window

Text1 = a specific Latitude and Text2 = a specific Longitude.

What i would like to do is to be able to point a specific place on the same map (by clicking it) and it would tell me the exact Latitude and Longitude for that specific point. It would then update the Text1 and Text 2 with that lat and long values.

How can i do that?

Thanks again for your help.

Time to move onward VB6 hasn't been supported since March 2008. With the demise of support for Windows XP, VB6 has no supported operating system. The express versions are available free here. You're kicking a dead horse these days.

Hi David,

I have a huge application already done on VB6. But i do understand that i will have to convert it one day. I should probably start ASAP. Will i be able to build the same type of apps,exe with forms with Express 2012 for Windows Desktop?
