WinExists won't close StdoutRead GUI Output

[JamesDover]

I am tring to build into a program a way to close StdoutRead with the Winkill command. How ever the StdoutRead seems to pause everything so the winkill has no effect along with any other button. I looked through the help files and forums with no luck.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
;$ServerPing = Ping("x.x.x.x", 250)
If @error = 0 Then
    If WinExists("Connections") Then;This clears out any existing StdoutRead gui's in case the user has clicked on the program twice.
        WinKill("Connections")
    Else
    EndIf
    $foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c dir foo.bar", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
    $line20 = StdoutRead($foo)
    Sleep(200)
    MsgBox(262144, "Connections", $line20)
ElseIf @error = 1 Then
MsgBox(0,"server not found",400)
Else
EndIf

StdoutRead() does not block anymore in the latest beta so I think it will suite you perfectly

Cheers but no luck. The beta won't compile it. Has anyone found a way around this?
