[c#] Drag&Drop to Privileged window

[Backshifted]

G'day techies,

 

I'm working on a checksum application and i added a drag&drop function, this all worked fine up untill i requested the application to be elevated.

At this point drag&drop stopped working, this is because of windows message system blablabla, long story short: you can't drop&drop to a higher elevated application only to equal or lower ones.

 

I've tried it within the app.manifest <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" /> and then changing uiAccess to true, but this can only be done when the program is installed in program files,

or by some sort of certificate.

 

So could someone help me out here?

It can be 2 things:

or i have to request admin privileges for just 1 function and then remove them somehow, i have already tried this with PrincipalPermission only this gave me an error that it failed.

or i need to be able to enable uiAccess

Sincerely,

 

Onno
