Cross Platform Privilege Elevation programattically

[abiusx]

Hello,

I was thinking is there a way to request Escalation through application, Specially in Mac OS X and Windows?

It is mandatory for a set of functions to work, Like getting default network interface, And there seems to be no way to do that.

I think, this has to be done on each platform with the platform specific API's, how evere they work :-)

AFAIK, there is no Qt way to do that.

Well i figured that out, but was hoping this get added to Qt Core.

I suppose that's why we have frameworks like Qt, to wrap platform specific APIs for us as best as it can happen.

And I also don't know how to use Mac OS X APIs inside Qt!

The same way as windows API's i think :-)
And as far as it's a windows / MAC specific thing only, and not common use, I don't think it will get it in QtCore. But you can make a suggestion in "Jira":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com and paste the link here. If enough people vote for it, perhaps it will get in (although I don't think so).
