Right control key is {RCTRL}.

Thank you Dan! It works beautifully with your solution.

@PnD You should try using _WD_ElementActionEx with the Check / Uncheck options.

There are multiple ways to get the STDOUT/STDERR from a process. If you need the info in real-time, then you can read the STDOUT/STDERR in a loop. If you can wait until the process has completed, then you can get the STDOUT/STDERR in a single read. Below, you will find 3 different examples of getting STDOUT (using a loop, using redirection, and using ProcessWaitClose). Notice the execution times. Using ProcessWaitClose is much slower than the other 2 methods. #AutoIt3Wrapper_AU3Check_Parameters=-w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6 -d #include <Constants.au3> #include <File.au3>
