Re: HiiSetToDefaults behavior

["Bi, Dandan" <dandan.bi@intel.com>]

Hi Wim Vervoorn,

Current behavior of HiiSetToDefaults():
1. For Question has the specified type default value, will set the default value to storage for the Question.
2. For Question without the specified type default,  other type default value can be shared.(such as: standard default doesn't exit, but Manufacturing Default exits, Manufacturing Default value can    
     be shared with standard default)
3. For Question without any types of default value, current implementation will 
    (a) set first option value as the default value of oneof
    (b) set minimum value as the default value of numeric
     ....


Thanks,
Dandan

Subject: [edk2] HiiSetToDefaults behavior

Hello,

I have a question about the expect behavior of HiiSetToDefaults(). So far I haven't been able to find a clear definition of what this should do.

What I expect is that this call would only touch the items that have a default defined. So what I would think is that Test2OfValue below would become 1 and Test1OfValue would be untouched as long as it's value is either 0 or 1 and become 1 if this is not the case.

What seems to happen is that for Test1OfValue the first item is used as the default.

oneof name = Test1OneOf,                               // Define reference name for Question
      varid   = lIfrNVData.Test1OfValue,                                      // Use "DataStructure.Member" to reference Buffer Storage
      prompt  = STRING_TOKEN(STR_TEST1_PROMPT),
      help    = STRING_TOKEN(STR_TEST1_HELP),
      //
      // Define an option (EFI_IFR_ONE_OF_OPTION)
      //
      option text = STRING_TOKEN(STR_ENABLE), value = 1, flags = 0;
      option text = STRING_TOKEN(STR_DISABLE), value = 0, flags = 0; endoneof;

oneof name = Test2OneOf,                               // Define reference name for Question
      varid   = lIfrNVData.Test2OfValue,                                      // Use "DataStructure.Member" to reference Buffer Storage
      prompt  = STRING_TOKEN(STR_TEST2_PROMPT),
      help    = STRING_TOKEN(STR_TEST2_HELP),
      //
      // Define an option (EFI_IFR_ONE_OF_OPTION)
      //
      option text = STRING_TOKEN(STR_ENABLE), value = 1, flags = DEFAULT;
      option text = STRING_TOKEN(STR_DISABLE), value = 0, flags = 0; endoneof;
