  • CW 6.3 - Force program to request to "Run as Administrator"

    From IT Architect@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 27 10:32:01 2020
    I have a situation where I have to do a RUN of an OS process that requires it to "Run as Administrator" for it to run right. I would like to spawn the program at that level when I RUN it from within CW.

    You might have to set the properties of the exe you call to get it to do
    that.

    That can work for me in this instance. I can use that method and then the external process I spawn will be at that level.

    The trick is the request for elevation must happen during the spawning of a process but I don't see a way to do that from within CW. Once it's spawned, you can reduce but not elevate.

    Thanks!
    PS: Thanks for the ClarionHub tip. I haven't used CW in a while.

    PS: This doesn't look anything like the newgroup comp.lang.clarion. They look totally independent.

    Don't use RUN(), use the ShellExecuteEx API call

    Correct, they are.
