**tab(-10, AG\_EVENTWAIT); parentid, ctlid, opcode; chr(127);**     [Tab(-10,x) Syntax Notes](ag_xxx_syntax-notes.htm.md)

AG\_EVENTWAIT (33) waits for an event, while allowing the focus to be moved around a set of buttons defined by the _parentid_ and _opcode_ parameters. The command is used internally by ATE for implementing the AUI\_EVENTWAIT function, which should be used in applications rather than AG\_EVENTWAIT directly.

**Response**

A comma-delimited pair of numbers: _exitcode, ctlid_ CR

This function has both a [subroutine and a print tab implementation](subroutine-print-pairs.htm.md).
