Custom Actions
I created a custom action that calls a .net DLL. I want to pass in a name of a Macro and what type it is. I created two properties one for the MacroName and the other for the MacroType.
The MacroType Property is a Radio Button with a List Data = "Temporary; Project; Global". I can pass in the value to my action only if its not the first option. If Project or Global is selected a value of 1 or 2 is passed in. If Temporary is selected a null value is passed in. I checked the build script if I select the first value "Temporary" then nothing is stored in the script file. This occurs even if I make the defualt value for that property a value of 2. It still doenst conatin any data in the DLL or the script file. I would have expected a value of 0 (zero) to be passed in. Am I doing something wrong?

The default value refers to what the field will default to when a new step of that action type is displayed in the GUI (and stored in the .bld file if the default is used).
http://www.kinook.com/VisBuildPro/Ma...propguitab.htm For radio and combo property types, a value of 0 (the first item in the list/radio) is not stored in the .bld file and it will default to 0 when retrieved.

If the default is 0 then when my DLL is called a value of null is passed in. If in the property window of the custom action I set the default to another value other then 0 then if the first value is selected then the approprate value is passed in.
Also the value is now stored in the script file itself.

Are you using Step.ExpProperty to retrieve the value in the custom action (see the NETAction or VBNETAction sample)?
