Re: Elevating via UAC in C++

Hey Jochen,

Aah! That's a pretty good idea as I the code I want to execute is right
on entry point.

Cheers for the tip! :)

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...
