C# program calling ControlSend Issue with multiple keys

[r2maker]

OK. First post.

I have a C# program and I am calling ControlSend.

            int d=au3.AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDownDelay", 1000);
            if (au3.error != 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(" <debug info=\"ControlSend FAILED\"/>");
            }
            Console.WriteLine(" <debug info=\"old down delay {0}\"/>",d);

            au3.ControlFocus("[HANDLE:" + handle + "]", "", Constants.menuControl);
            if(au3.error != 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(" <debug info=\"ControlFocus FAILED\"/>");
            }

            String c=au3.ControlGetFocus("[HANDLE:" + handle +"]");
            if (au3.error != 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(" <debug info=\"ControlGetFocus FAILED\"/>");
            }

            Console.WriteLine(" <debug info=\"{0}\"/>",c);
        
            au3.ControlSend("[HANDLE:" + handle + "]", "", "[CLASSNN:" + c + "]", "{F5}");
            if (au3.error != 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(" <debug info=\"ControlSend FAILED\"/>");
            }

If I send "{F5}" this works.

If I send any single key this works.

If I try multiple keys such as "^q" it does not work.

I tried searching the forum where folks mention making sure the control is active and forcing a longer key hold. Which I've added.

Very frustrated and hoping its something silly that I cant see because I've been staring at it for too long.

Anyone have any suggestions?

You say Ctrl+q doesn't work or do you want to send Alt+q?

Any combination of two or more keys does not seem to work. Any single key seems to work.

I have some ALT+key that I want to send and some CTRL+key that I want to send. I have one CTRL+ALT+key that I need to send.

None of them work. 

But all of the function {key} seem to work.
