HowTo invoke windows standard RunAs dialog

[KaFu]

Hello Forum,

does anyone know, how to invoke windows standard RunAs dialog? I know of RunAs() for course, but i want to start the build-in dialog. Have search for something like a shell32.dll call without luck.

Best Regards

I am sure it is possible to call it via Run(), and If I was you I would search for it via google.

If you don't find however, you can always use

CODE

Send("{LWin}")

Send("{R}")

Be sure that I did that . I don't mean the Run dialog, but the RunAs dialog. Thanks for your answer.

That dialog is for the program so you don't just invoke it like some other stuff.

What you need is function ShellExecute from shell32.dll

But AutoIt has that as built-in function allowing you to do something like this:

MsgBox(64, "Normal mode", "IsAdmin: " & IsAdmin() & @CRLF & "Will go to elevated mode after you click OK")

ShellExecuteWait(@AutoItExe, '/AutoIt3ExecuteLine  "MsgBox(64, ''Elevated mode'', ''IsAdmin: '' & IsAdmin())"', @ScriptDir, "runas")

MsgBox(64, "Normal mode again", "IsAdmin: " & IsAdmin() & @CRLF & "UAC again follows")

ShellExecuteWait(@AutoItExe, '/AutoIt3ExecuteLine  "MsgBox(64, ''Elevated mode again'', ''IsAdmin: '' & IsAdmin())"', @ScriptDir, "runas")

Results depends on your current status, your choices and OS.

Of course that you can run other programs like this.

Perfect, that's what I was searching for ...

ShellExecute(@ComSpec,'/k',@ScriptDir,'runas')

Want to use it to allow the user to invoke any exe this way from SMF's result report.

Verb 'runas' is not in the documentation .

Thanks a bunch for this one

Gilgul, please do not resurrect a 4 year old thread. AutoIt is constantly evolving, and what may have worked in 2009 may be completely different today. Please open a new thread and describe in detail what you're trying to accomplish; I guarantee you will get a much better response.

gilgul,

JLogan3o13 makes a good point - please do not do something like this again. But welcome to the AutoIt forums anyway.

In response to the report,

If the necro-question is self-contained and so can be split off easily, then by all means report it - if not (as in this case) it makes little sense to split it, so just comment in the thread for the poster's future wisdom. Thanks for your cooperation.
