Start Qt app right after initial windows startup

Question

I need to start my application before the windows login form displays, and the login process should be done within the application. How is this possible with the Qt framework?

Answer 1

It is not possible to customize the Windows graphical identification and authentication (GINA) using only Qt. GINA is a component of some Microsoft Windows operating systems that provides secure authentication and interactive logon services. You will have to implement a custom GINA, which involves providing implementation for a set of native API calls. More information on this topic is available at Wikipedia.
