MSDN has lots of information about Deployment Dialog Boxes; the various types, how to add them, etc... but next to nothing on how to access and use the values entered into these dialog boxes.

If the user is presented a textboxes user interface dialog box how do I and from where/what do I get the values?  During setup they will be entering a URL which is then written to the app config file.

Thanks for any help.

In general, those property names like EDITA1 can be passed to custom actions via CustomActionData. The syntax of passing CustomActionData varies depending on whether your custom action is an installer class (where you see the values in installer class Context) or a C++/VBScript custom action (where you get the value from the CustomActionData property itself).
