Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Diagnostics;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
{
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo ("C:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe", "/c net stop DisplayFusionService");
startInfo.Verb = "runas";
Process.Start (startInfo);
}
}


There's no way to do it without the UAC prompt as far as I know, unless you run DisplayFusion as Administrator.

Hope that helps! ]]> Scripted functions - Stop windows service - access denied https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/scripted-functions-stop-windows-service-access-denied/?ID=70fe6bfb-2a0d-406e-a0a5-eebe5a65df2e Sun, 15 Jan 2017 22:36:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/scripted-functions-stop-windows-service-access-denied/?ID=70fe6bfb-2a0d-406e-a0a5-eebe5a65df2e DisplayFusion Hi !

I tried to stop windows service from scripted function and it has no rights to do so, when opening service exception Access is denied. That is no suprise becouse this code should be run elevated. So only way I can think to do that is to run service stop code in separate application, is there a way to do it trough Display fusion.

here is the exception logged:

2017/01/15 23:26:42.665##_##FAIL:L1##_##displayfusionsettings.exe:2832##_##BFScriptCode:Run##_##-##_##Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. • Cannot open ymc service on computer '.'. • Access is denied##_##- ]]>
