Re: [patch 0/3] MdeModulePkg/UiApp: Signal event when enter/exit setup menu

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

Hi Mike,

We can't move the enter/exit event signaling into the FormBrowwer SendForm() function.

Because we can't decide whether enter/exit setup through SendForm() is called or not.  Some examples:

1. SendForm() is not called when exit setup menu and re-enter setup menu. Such as, SendForm() is only called when enter front page firstly. But when  go to Boot Manager menu to select an option to boot and exit setup menu, then exit the option and return to setup menu, SendForm() is not called in this case.

2. SendForm () may be also called more than one time even if we don't  leave setup menu. Such as, if we want to add an boot option in setup menu, when choose file to add boot option, SendForm() will be called to show files. But we don't  think we leave setup menu in this case.

So if we signal setup enter/exit event in SendForm(), may cause less/more notifications. Which is not a correct behavior.


Thanks,
Dandan

Dandan Bi,

Is it possible to move the enter/exit event signaling into the FormBrowwer SendForm() function?  The current patch set adds these signal calls in all the places that
SendForm() is called and if one of these is missed, a notification will be missed.

Mike
