Maybe I got something completely wrong, as I am new to ISD.
However, I want to ask the user for a port number to be written to a configuration file. To do this, I created a custom dialog with an edit field and inserted it into "Sequences". Then I modified "DefaultFeature_Installed()" in featureevents.rul to modify some configuration file accordingly.

How can I access from that script the value the user entered in the edit field of the custom dialog?

That's with InstallShield Developer 7.0, to be more exact...

In the edit control PROPERTY property associate a property SOMEPROPERTY and read it from your installscript using MsiGetProperty(hMSI, "SOMEPROPERTY", buf, count) where buf is a STRING variable and count, a NUMBER.
