+In all our experments the driver `Callback()` function was never called.
+
+This has happend because none of the driver form elements had `EFI_IFR_FLAG_CALLBACK` flag set.
+
+The `EFI_IFR_FLAG_CALLBACK` is one of the flags for the `EFI_IFR_QUESTION_HEADER.flags` field [https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Uefi/UefiInternalFormRepresentation.h](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Uefi/UefiInternalFormRepresentation.h):
+```cpp
+//
+// Flag values of EFI_IFR_QUESTION_HEADER
+//
+#define EFI_IFR_FLAG_READ_ONLY 0x01
+#define EFI_IFR_FLAG_CALLBACK 0x04
+#define EFI_IFR_FLAG_RESET_REQUIRED 0x10
+#define EFI_IFR_FLAG_REST_STYLE 0x20
+#define EFI_IFR_FLAG_RECONNECT_REQUIRED 0x40
+#define EFI_IFR_FLAG_OPTIONS_ONLY 0x80
+```
+The `EFI_IFR_QUESTION_HEADER` is a structure present in the IFR code of all our data elements:
+```
+EFI_IFR_CHECKBOX - checkbox
+EFI_IFR_NUMERIC - numeric
+EFI_IFR_STRING - string
+EFI_IFR_DATE - date
+EFI_IFR_TIME - time
+EFI_IFR_ONE_OF - oneof
+EFI_IFR_ORDERED_LIST - orderedlist
+```
+
+So let's add `EFI_IFR_FLAG_CALLBACK` to one of our form elements. For example let's add it to the `numeric` element. In the VFR code the necessary flag is indicated by the `INTERACTIVE` keyword:
+```
+ numeric
+ name = NumericQuestion,
+ varid = FormData.NumericValue,
+ prompt = STRING_TOKEN(NUMERIC_PROMPT),
+ help = STRING_TOKEN(NUMERIC_HELP),
+- flags = NUMERIC_SIZE_2 | DISPLAY_UINT_HEX,
++ flags = NUMERIC_SIZE_2 | DISPLAY_UINT_HEX | INTERACTIVE,
+ minimum = 0,
+ maximum = 10,
+ step = 1,
+ default = 7, defaultstore = StandardDefault,
+ default = 8, defaultstore = ManufactureDefault,
+endnumeric;
+```
+
+# `EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL.CallBack()`
+
+Here is a description for the `EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL.CallBack()` function from the UEFI specification:
+```
+EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL.CallBack()
+
+Summary:
+This function is called to provide results data to the driver.
+
+Prototype:
+typedef
+EFI_STATUS
+(EFIAPI *EFI_HII_ACCESS_FORM_CALLBACK) (
+ IN CONST EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL *This,
+ IN EFI_BROWSER_ACTION Action,
+ IN EFI_QUESTION_ID QuestionId,
+ IN UINT8 Type
+ IN OUT EFI_IFR_TYPE_VALUE *Value,
+ OUT EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_REQUEST *ActionRequest,
+);
+
+Parameters:
+This Points to the EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL
+Action Specifies the type of action taken by the browser
+QuestionId A unique value which is sent to the original exporting driver so that it can identify the
+ type of data to expect. The format of the data tends to vary based on the opcode that generated the callback
+Type The type of value for the question
+Value A pointer to the data being sent to the original exporting driver. The type is specified by Type
+ActionRequest On return, points to the action requested by the callback function
+
+Description
+This function is called by the forms browser in response to a user action on a question which has the
+EFI_IFR_FLAG_CALLBACK bit set in the EFI_IFR_QUESTION_HEADER. The user action is specified by
+Action. Depending on the action, the browser may also pass the question value using Type and Value.
+Upon return, the callback function may specify the desired browser action.
+```
+
+To better understand when and how this function is called let's add a debug statement that would print incoming arguments like we did with `RouteConfig()` and `ExtractConfig()`. But for that we need to understand this arguments first.
+
+## `EFI_BROWSER_ACTION Action`
+
+This argument describes an operation that is currently performed by the browser. UEFI specification defines a list of possible browser operations with the `EFI_BROWSER_ACTION` type. The `EFI_BROWSER_ACTION` is `UINTN` with possible values described in the [https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Protocol/HiiConfigAccess.h](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Protocol/HiiConfigAccess.h):
+```cpp
+typedef UINTN EFI_BROWSER_ACTION;
+
+#define EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_CHANGING 0
+#define EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_CHANGED 1
+#define EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_RETRIEVE 2
+#define EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_OPEN 3
+#define EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_CLOSE 4
+#define EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_SUBMITTED 5
+#define EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_STANDARD 0x1000
+#define EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_MANUFACTURING 0x1001
+#define EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_SAFE 0x1002
+#define EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_PLATFORM 0x2000
+#define EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_HARDWARE 0x3000
+#define EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_FIRMWARE 0x4000
+```
+On each of these operations the Form Browser calls `Callback()` function for each of the form elements with the `EFI_IFR_FLAG_CALLBACK` flag.
+
+To print `EFI_BROWSER_ACTION` value as a string we'll define this simple function:
+```cpp
+EFI_STRING ActionToStr(EFI_BROWSER_ACTION Action)
+{
+ switch (Action) {
+ case EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_CHANGING:
+ return L"EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_CHANGING";
+ case EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_CHANGED:
+ return L"EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_CHANGED";
+ case EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_RETRIEVE:
+ return L"EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_RETRIEVE";
+ case EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_OPEN:
+ return L"EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_OPEN";
+ case EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_CLOSE:
+ return L"EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_CLOSE";
+ case EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_SUBMITTED:
+ return L"EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_SUBMITTED";
+ case EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_STANDARD:
+ return L"EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_STANDARD";
+ case EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_MANUFACTURING:
+ return L"EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_MANUFACTURING";
+ case EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_SAFE:
+ return L"EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_SAFE";
+ case EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_PLATFORM:
+ return L"EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_PLATFORM";
+ case EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_HARDWARE:
+ return L"EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_HARDWARE";
+ case EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_FIRMWARE:
+ return L"EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_FIRMWARE";
+ default:
+ return L"Unknown";
+ }
+}
+```
+
+## `EFI_QUESTION_ID QuestionId`
+
+The `EFI_QUESTION_ID` type is defined in the [https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Uefi/UefiInternalFormRepresentation.h](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Uefi/UefiInternalFormRepresentation.h)
+```
+typedef UINT16 EFI_QUESTION_ID;
+```
+It is just a `UINT16` value identificator to indicate for which of the form elements the `Callback()` function is called.
+
+
+## `UINT8 Type` and `EFI_IFR_TYPE_VALUE *Value`
+
+The Form Browser also sends an actual form element data to the `Callback()` function.
+
+But each element store the data in it's own type. Therefore the Form Browser in one argument send the type of value [https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Uefi/UefiInternalFormRepresentation.h](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Uefi/UefiInternalFormRepresentation.h):
+```
+//
+// Types of the option's value.
+//
+#define EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_8 0x00
+#define EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16 0x01
+#define EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_32 0x02
+#define EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_64 0x03
+#define EFI_IFR_TYPE_BOOLEAN 0x04
+#define EFI_IFR_TYPE_TIME 0x05
+#define EFI_IFR_TYPE_DATE 0x06
+#define EFI_IFR_TYPE_STRING 0x07
+#define EFI_IFR_TYPE_OTHER 0x08
+#define EFI_IFR_TYPE_UNDEFINED 0x09
+#define EFI_IFR_TYPE_ACTION 0x0A
+#define EFI_IFR_TYPE_BUFFER 0x0B
+#define EFI_IFR_TYPE_REF 0x0C
+```
+In in another argument the actual value as a union type:
+```
+typedef union {
+ UINT8 u8;
+ UINT16 u16;
+ UINT32 u32;
+ UINT64 u64;
+ BOOLEAN b;
+ EFI_HII_TIME time;
+ EFI_HII_DATE date;
+ EFI_STRING_ID string; ///< EFI_IFR_TYPE_STRING, EFI_IFR_TYPE_ACTION
+ EFI_HII_REF ref; ///< EFI_IFR_TYPE_REF
+ // UINT8 buffer[]; ///< EFI_IFR_TYPE_BUFFER
+} EFI_IFR_TYPE_VALUE;
+```
+
+Therefore to get the value we first look at the `UINT8 Type` argument and then use the necessary type on the `EFI_IFR_TYPE_VALUE` union.
+
+```cpp
+EFI_STRING TypeToStr(UINT8 Type)
+{
+ switch (Type) {
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_8:
+ return L"EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_8";
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16:
+ return L"EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16";
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_32:
+ return L"EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_32";
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_64:
+ return L"EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_64";
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_BOOLEAN:
+ return L"EFI_IFR_TYPE_BOOLEAN";
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_TIME:
+ return L"EFI_IFR_TYPE_TIME";
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_DATE:
+ return L"EFI_IFR_TYPE_DATE";
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_STRING:
+ return L"EFI_IFR_TYPE_STRING";
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_OTHER:
+ return L"EFI_IFR_TYPE_OTHER";
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_UNDEFINED:
+ return L"EFI_IFR_TYPE_UNDEFINED";
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_ACTION:
+ return L"EFI_IFR_TYPE_ACTION";
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_BUFFER:
+ return L"EFI_IFR_TYPE_BUFFER";
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_REF:
+ return L"EFI_IFR_TYPE_REF";
+ default:
+ return L"Unknown";
+ }
+}
+
+VOID DebugCallbackValue(UINT8 Type, EFI_IFR_TYPE_VALUE *Value)
+{
+ switch (Type) {
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_8:
+ DEBUG ((EFI_D_INFO, "%d\n", Value->u8));
+ break;
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16:
+ DEBUG ((EFI_D_INFO, "%d\n", Value->u16));
+ break;
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_32:

+ break;
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_BOOLEAN:

+ break;
+ case EFI_IFR_TYPE_STRING:
+ DEBUG ((EFI_D_INFO, "%s\n", HiiGetString(mHiiHandle, Value->string, "en-US") ));
+ break;
+ default:
+ DEBUG ((EFI_D_INFO, "Unknown\n" ));
+ break;
+ }
+}
+```
+
+# Putting it all together
+
+Let's get all of our helper functions and create a debug print statement for the `Callback()` code:
+```cpp
+STATIC
+EFI_STATUS
+EFIAPI
+Callback (
+ IN CONST EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL *This,
+ IN EFI_BROWSER_ACTION Action,
+ IN EFI_QUESTION_ID QuestionId,
+ IN UINT8 Type,
+ IN OUT EFI_IFR_TYPE_VALUE *Value,
+ OUT EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_REQUEST *ActionRequest
+ )
+{
+ DEBUG ((EFI_D_INFO, "Callback: Action=%s, QuestionId=0x%04x, Type=%s, Value=", ActionToStr(Action), QuestionId, TypeToStr(Type)));
+ DebugCallbackValue(Type, Value);
+
+ return EFI_UNSUPPORTED;
+}
+```
+
+Besides the `Callback()` let's add the `DEBUG` statements to the `RouteConfig()` and `ExtractConfig()` function as well. This way we will know the order of how the Form Browser calls out functions:
+```
+STATIC
+EFI_STATUS
+EFIAPI
+RouteConfig (
+ IN CONST EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL *This,
+ IN CONST EFI_STRING Configuration,
+ OUT EFI_STRING *Progress
+)
+{
+ DEBUG ((EFI_D_INFO, "RouteConfig: Configuration=%s\n", Configuration));
+
+ ...
+}
+
+STATIC
+EFI_STATUS
+EFIAPI
+ExtractConfig (
+ IN CONST EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL *This,
+ IN CONST EFI_STRING Request,
+ OUT EFI_STRING *Progress,
+ OUT EFI_STRING *Results
+)
+{
+ DEBUG ((EFI_D_INFO, "ExtractConfig: Request=%s\n", Request));
+
+ ...
+}
+```
+
+# Experiment
+
+Load our driver to the UEFI shell.
+```
+FS0:\> load HIIFormDataElementsVarstore.efi
+```
+
+The `Callback()` code is run only by the Form Browser. Therefore if we would issue requests with our `HIIConfig.efi` application, the `Callback()` would never run. So let's type `exit` to run the Form Browser.
+
+When we enter our form, the following strings would be printed to the debug log (by default the value for the numeric element is 8):
+```
+ExtractConfig: Request=GUID=927580373a731b4f9557f22af743e8c2&NAME=0046006f0072006d0044006100740061&PATH=01041400641982fbb4ac7b439fe666aa7ad7c5d87fff0400&OFFSET=0&WIDTH=0024
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_OPEN, QuestionId=0x0002, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=0
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_RETRIEVE, QuestionId=0x0002, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=8
+```
+As you see here our element got `QuestionId=0x0002`. This is because we didn't explicitly set any questionId's for our form elements and the `numeric` element is second on the form (the first is the `checkbox` element). We've set `NUMERIC_SIZE_2` flag in the element VFR code, therefore the value is interpreted as `Value->u16`.
+
+Change the numeric element value to 3:
+```
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_CHANGING, QuestionId=0x0002, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=3
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_CHANGED, QuestionId=0x0002, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=3
+```
+As you see here the Form Browser doesn't call `ExtractConfig`/`RouteConfig` functions. It is the only situation when it is happening like that.
+
+Submit the form with updated value:
+```
+RouteConfig: Configuration=GUID=927580373a731b4f9557f22af743e8c2&NAME=0046006f0072006d0044006100740061&PATH=01041400641982fbb4ac7b439fe666aa7ad7c5d87fff0400&OFFSET=0000&WIDTH=0001&VALUE=00&OFFSET=0001&WIDTH=0002&VALUE=0003&OFFSET=0003&WIDTH=0014&VALUE=006f0072007000200067006e0069007200740053&OFFSET=0019&WIDTH=0004&VALUE=160507e5&OFFSET=001d&WIDTH=0003&VALUE=213717&OFFSET=0020&WIDTH=0001&VALUE=33&OFFSET=0021&WIDTH=0003&VALUE=0a0b0c
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_SUBMITTED, QuestionId=0x0002, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=3
+```
+
+Press reset to default button (this sets value to 7):
+```
+ExtractConfig: Request=GUID=927580373a731b4f9557f22af743e8c2&NAME=0046006f0072006d0044006100740061&PATH=01041400641982fbb4ac7b439fe666aa7ad7c5d87fff0400&OFFSET=0000&WIDTH=0001&OFFSET=0001&WIDTH=0002&OFFSET=0003&WIDTH=0014&OFFSET=0019&WIDTH=0004&OFFSET=001d&WIDTH=0003&OFFSET=0020&WIDTH=0001&OFFSET=0021&WIDTH=0003
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_STANDARD, QuestionId=0x0002, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=3
+```
+
+Press reset to manufacture default button (this sets value to 8):
+```
+ExtractConfig: Request=GUID=927580373a731b4f9557f22af743e8c2&NAME=0046006f0072006d0044006100740061&PATH=01041400641982fbb4ac7b439fe666aa7ad7c5d87fff0400&OFFSET=0000&WIDTH=0001&OFFSET=0001&WIDTH=0002&OFFSET=0003&WIDTH=0014&OFFSET=0019&WIDTH=0004&OFFSET=001d&WIDTH=0003&OFFSET=0020&WIDTH=0001&OFFSET=0021&WIDTH=0003
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_DEFAULT_MANUFACTURING, QuestionId=0x0002, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=7
+```
+
+Exit without submit
+```
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_CHANGED, QuestionId=0x0002, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=3
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_CLOSE, QuestionId=0x0002, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=3
+```
+Here you see that 2 callbacks were executed. As another experiment enter the form again, set manufacture defaults and submit them. And only then exit our form. This way the exit action would print only the `EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_CLOSE` callback:
+```
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_CLOSE, QuestionId=0x0002, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=8
+```
+So the `EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_CHANGED` in this case is called only if an element has unsubmitted chanegs.
+
+
+# `QuestionId` and the order of callbacks
+
+In the last example the `QuestionId` for our element was set implicitly by the `VfrCompiler`. But it is possible to set it yourself with a help of a `quiestionid` keyword.
+
+For another experiment let's add `INTERACTIVE` flag to the `checkbox` and `string` elements. But set the `quiestionid` explicitly only for the `checkbox` and `numeric` elements:
+```
+checkbox
+ varid = FormData.CheckboxValue,
+ questionid = 0x5555,
+ prompt = STRING_TOKEN(CHECKBOX_PROMPT),
+ help = STRING_TOKEN(CHECKBOX_HELP),
+ flags = INTERACTIVE,
+ default = TRUE, defaultstore = StandardDefault,
+ default = FALSE, defaultstore = ManufactureDefault,
+endcheckbox;
+
+numeric
+ name = NumericQuestion,
+ varid = FormData.NumericValue,
+ questionid = 0x4444,
+ prompt = STRING_TOKEN(NUMERIC_PROMPT),
+ help = STRING_TOKEN(NUMERIC_HELP),
+ flags = NUMERIC_SIZE_2 | DISPLAY_UINT_HEX | INTERACTIVE,
+ minimum = 0,
+ maximum = 10,
+ step = 1,
+ default = 7, defaultstore = StandardDefault,
+ default = 8, defaultstore = ManufactureDefault,
+endnumeric;
+
+string
+ name = StringQuestion,
+ varid = FormData.StringValue,
+ prompt = STRING_TOKEN(STRING_PROMPT),
+ help = STRING_TOKEN(STRING_HELP),
+ flags = INTERACTIVE,
+ minsize = 5,
+ maxsize = 10,
+ default = STRING_TOKEN(STRING_DEFAULT), defaultstore = StandardDefault,
+ default = STRING_TOKEN(STRING_PROMPT), defaultstore = ManufactureDefault,
+endstring
+```
+
+This would give us this output on the form open:
+```
+ExtractConfig: Request=GUID=927580373a731b4f9557f22af743e8c2&NAME=0046006f0072006d0044006100740061&PATH=01041400641982fbb4ac7b439fe666aa7ad7c5d87fff0400&OFFSET=0&WIDTH=0024
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_OPEN, QuestionId=0x5555, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_BOOLEAN, Value=0
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_OPEN, QuestionId=0x4444, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=0
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_OPEN, QuestionId=0x0001, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_STRING, Value=
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_RETRIEVE, QuestionId=0x5555, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_BOOLEAN, Value=0
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_RETRIEVE, QuestionId=0x4444, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=8
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_RETRIEVE, QuestionId=0x0001, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_STRING, Value=String pro
+```
+As you see here each action is called on every interactive form element. This is true for all other cases when the action affects all the form elements.
+The calls in this case are happening not by the order of QuestionId's, but in the order of element placement in the VFR. Also as we've said it before, the `VfrCompiler` implicitly assigns `QuestionId`'s to all the form elements which don't have any explicit define for that. Even to those which don't have any `INTERACTIVE` flag. The implicit assignments start from the `0x0001` value, and this is the value that our `string` element got.
+
+If we change `numeric` element value to 3, only `numeric` callback will be executed
+```
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_CHANGING, QuestionId=0x4444, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=3
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_CHANGED, QuestionId=0x4444, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=3
+```
+And if we exit the form without any submit, the following callbacks will be called:
+```
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_CHANGED, QuestionId=0x4444, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=8
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_CLOSE, QuestionId=0x5555, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_BOOLEAN, Value=0
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_CLOSE, QuestionId=0x4444, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_16, Value=8
+Callback: Action=EFI_BROWSER_ACTION_FORM_CLOSE, QuestionId=0x0001, Type=EFI_IFR_TYPE_STRING, Value=String pro
+```
+
+I hope all of these experiment have got you some understanding about when and how the `Callback()` function is executed.
+
