Windows 10: How to enable GeoLocation position by code in WinForms app?

This is about using the Microsoft Geolocation services with our application and leased equipment. Using VS2022 c# or any similar versionCurrently the software allows Fallbacktoconsentlessposition if the location option is turned OFF or the user replies NO to the software asking for location info.The question is can the software modify some setting so that the location can be figured out to some reasonable level like 200 meters radius? hopefully less? There is software and hardware a customer uses, if they use that software then it should report back location say every hour or? and/or repo

:)

winform application, windows 10 touch keyboard for newly created local user

Hi amitrawat1

The problem you are most likely having is because the Winforms textBox is not an AutomationElement . ..

Are you just starting coding this app, or is it fully coded or a legacy app?

For a touch enabled application or if you are targeting Windows 8 or 10, your best option would be to code a WPF application, if you are familiar with using XAML for the front end . . .

 

Not able to Enable Geolocation Services

Original Title: Geolocation Services

Recently after receiving insider preview build rs1_release 14393 I noticed in msconfig the geolocation services had been disabled. Upon trying to enable them I noticed they kept disabling automatically (unchecked after applying). I read in the community
that using regedit I should delete the following: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lfsvc\TriggerInfo\3. But when looking down through the statements everything past Services is missing. I even think I remember something saying the file
Ifsvc cannot be found. What can I do to repair this?
