C++ to do a Screen Capture of "Secured Desktop" (UAC Prompts)
Is there anyone who know how to take screen capture of the secured desktop? (The darker overlay where UAC Prompt appears)
The regular "bitblt" that i'm using doesn't seems to capture these screens.
Thanks

I know the whole idea about the UAC, but i know it's possible to do it (TeamViewer for example do it).
We are developping a solution similar to TeamViewer/VNC/LogMeIn/etc , to allow our users to support their customers remotely.
The point is that if the local user think that his support staff see the prompt, and wait for an action from him... they will wait forever.
I've seen registries like PromptOnSecureDesktop, but from the tests i've done, it has no impact on the result with bitblt. But maybe i've done something wrong, just setting it to 0 or false might not be enough...

I've not been able to test the solution. We have something urgent on the Schedule for the next 2 weeks, then i'll be able to try it.
I'll mark your solution as correct, and if i need more help i'll post a new question linked to this one.

Your applications are not supposed to be able to interact with the secured desktop at all.
Why do you need to get a screen capture of that desktop? Perhaps we can help you find a different method to achieve the same end result.
