Such a thing requires a direct call to the windows API. Refer to the MSDN documents in the Microsoft site. You'll also need a signed security certificate. Also the feature will differ from one OS version to another. Refer to the MSDN documentation.
Also if the OS stops you from running it, means your application is doing something illegal and might cause problems with the default OS calls/management.
Are you sure you absolutely need the Administrative privileges?

There is no need to re-create what is already there.
This question basically for Windows only. It would be better if you ask in the Windows Programming forum. You would require Windows SDK library to serve your need.
However you can still run your compiled program in Administrative mode just the same. There is no need to code.
I'm assuming you want to have a menu option to execute a module in Administrator's mode.
