    <p>I'm writing an app that allows you to script the buttons from a wiimote into actions on your PC. It currently supports all of the features of the main remote control, except for the speaker.</p> <p>Now, I'm running in to trouble when I run it on Vista with UAC turned on.</p> <p>Any time a UAC'd window has focus, my app fails to move the mouse successfully. For instance, when an installer is run, I have to navigate it with the keyboard.</p> <ol> <li><p><s>Will running the app as administrator solve my problem?</s> (At one point in time, I was able to successfully move the mouse over a UAC-password-entry box)</p></li> <li><p><s>How do I build a manifest that will tell windows to "run as administrator"?</s></p></li> <li><p><strong>How do I embed this manifest into my app, if I'm strongly naming my assembly?</strong></p></li> <li><p><strong>How do I sign my application with an Authenticode cert?</strong></p></li> </ol> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Ok, so after some more extensive research, I have found:</p> <p><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756929.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756929.aspx</a></p> <pre><code>&lt;requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker|highestAvailable|requireAdministrator" uiAccess="true|false"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>However, the article says:</p> <blockquote> <p>Applications with the uiAccess flag set to true must be Authenticode signed to start properly. In addition, the application must reside in a protected location in the file system. \Program Files\ and \windows\system32\ are currently the two allowable protected locations.</p> </blockquote> <p>I have edited the question to reflect the new developments.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
