• Software Development for Windows Vista UAC elevation dialog minimized

  Our application launches a separate executable that requires elevation. Everything works fine except that the UAC elevation dialog always comes up minimized, blinking in the taskbar (users tend to miss the blinking taskbar and think the operation failed). I believe this is a problem with Vista, as I have seen the same behavior in the Windows Explorer (Computer) when right-clicking on a hard drive and selecting "Format...". Is there a way to force this UAC dialog to gain focus immediately Or is this a bug that will be fixed in future Vista builds Running Vista build 5472 Hey Fergar, Thanks for the post, am having the same issue and the problem is i need to specify the handle as NULL ...Show All

• .NET Development Getting processes by window caption

  I just want to know how to find instances of programs with a certain window caption, something similar to the system.diagnostics.process.getprocessesbyname command except to find processes by their window caption instead of process name. How would this be done Cheers will give that a go in the Morning.. I think it's the API call, mine is long yours is return, is this some kind of .NET mod coz the GetProcessThreadID has long and intPtr options. Will look in to global hooks as this was my original plan but found you couldn;t do it easily unless in C and it's kinda frowned upon and only mouse and keyboard events are supported... I like to follow the KISS model which should be taught.. Keep It Simple Stupid... ...Show All
