Get into UAC-Dialogue

Hello!
I have programmed an on-screen keyboard similar to the Microsoft
on-screen keyboard.

The Microsoft keyboard automatically appears when a UAC dialogue appears.
The screen gets a little darker, and the UAC dialogue becomes the
foreground window.

The MS keyboard seemingly found a way to appear within the "context" of
this dialogue.
I have not yet managed to reproduce this behaviour.
Can anybody help?

Regards
Ulf
 
Ulf,

I'm not 100% sure, but I would assume that the MS onscreen keyboard plugs
into the GINA in order to accomplish that, in a similar way to a thumbprint
reader would. If that's the case, it's not going to be an easy thing to
accomplish.

From what I've gathered about UAC, it's using WinLogon's GUI services rather
than the shell's.

Kind Regards,
Alex
