# exitcode

> [HTML Version](exitcode_aui.htm)

Exitcode returns a code indicating the event received. Typically this would be the exitcode associated with a mouse click on an object, or a particular keystroke or timer event. The actual values are generally consistent with INFLD, or XTREE, or both, to facilitate a single exitcode-handling routine that covers all three.

To avoid confusion between control-identifying exitcodes (i.e. those generated via the click string associated with a control) and navigational exitcodes (such as those in the following table), you should avoid assigning control-identifying exitcodes in the range of -100 to 100. See the [cmd](cmd_aui_control.htm.md) parameter of AUI\_CONTROL, the [hlpidx](hlpidx.htm.md) parameter of INFLD, and the [XTR.KBDSTR](xtr_kbdstr.htm.md) (xtrctl) parameter of XTREE for information on how control-identifying exitcodes are defined.

Note that buttons with exitcode values -1 thru -32 may be used with EVW\_EXCDINOUT. This allows buttons that emulate the standard function keys to be used with EVW\_EXCDINOUT.
