Request UAC elevation at runtime

[Guest John Daintree]

Hello all,

 

I have an application that may, depending on user actions, require

elevation.

 

Is it possible, at runtime, from within the program, to request elevation?

 

So the sequence would be:

 

1) Start program (not elevated)

2) User performs actions (as non-admin)

3) User trys to perform action that will require admin privileges

4) Program prompts user for elevation

5) Program performs action with admin privileges

6) Program de-elevates

7) User performs actions (as non-admin)

8) Program exits.

 

Thanks in advance,

john
