Re: Elevating via UAC in C++

Hi NickP!
I know that I can cause the UAC to be evoked for an entire process, but I would like to be able to display the UAC before I call a particular function in my code, is this possible? Or can you only elevate the entire application?

You can only elevate the whole process...

You you could "re-execute" your process with ShellExecute and "RunAs"... this will trigger the UAC Dialog... and starts your program again...
