gglAuthor (Type of variable)

In french: gglAuteur (Type de variable)

The gglAuthor type is used to find out the author of a Google element. This information is available in read-only: it is specified by Google during the creation (according to the connection information) and it cannot be modified.

This type of variable is used by:

The gglCalendar variables.
The gglEvent variables.
The gglComment variables.

Notes:

In most cases, the declaration of a gglAuthor variable is not required. Indeed, the properties of the gglCalendar, gglEvent or gglComment type allow you to directly handle the properties of the gglAuthor type (especially the ..Author property).
See Declaring a variable for more details.

Example

// Connection to Google
Cnt is gglConnection
Cnt..Email = "vince@gmail.com"
Cnt..Password = "azerty"
Cnt..ApplicationName = "MyApp-01"
IF GglConnect(Cnt) = False THEN
Error(ErrorInfo())
END
...

// Retrieve the array of available calendars
arrCalendars is array of gglCalendar
arrCalendars = GglListCalendar(Cnt)

// Retrieve the events of the first calendar
GglFillCalendar(Cnt, arrCalendars[1])

// Case 1: Direct use of the name of the author
Trace("Author of the calendar: " + arrCalendars[1]..Author..Name)

// Case 2: Use by passing a gglAuthor variable
CalendarAuthor is gglAuthor
CalendarAuthor = arrCalendars[1]..Author
Trace("Author of the calendar: " + CalendarAuthor..Name)
