Using QT Creator how can I set the execution level

问题:

Basically I need to be able to edit files that require administrator privileges to edit. I know that in Visual Studio a manifest file is used for this - but I understand QT does not have these.

回答1:

You can use a manifest with Qt applications, but you'll have to do it semi-manually. This blog post Embedding Application Manifest and Version Information using QtCreator shows one way of doing it (adapt the manifest to suit your needs).

GimbleJune 29, 2012 at 8:59 AM Just to add another less-intrusive way with VS2010 and Qt4.8+, from http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/29107-win32-how-to-modify-the-manifest-with-qmake

win32 {
CONFIG += embed_manifest_exe
QMAKE_LFLAGS_WINDOWS += /MANIFESTUAC:level=\'requireAdministrator\'
}

That works for a minimal case (just requiring administrative rights)

Still works on Qt 5.6 and MSVC 2015.

This code compatible with Qt and Visual Studio 2015 IDE.

QMAKE_LFLAGS += /MANIFESTUAC:$$quote(\"level=\'requireAdministrator\' uiAccess=\'false\'\")
