[WiX-users] List box Property value not coming in c++ custom action wix?

[D.A Danekhail]

I am stuck with this from quite long now , the ListBox "SETUPLOGLEVEL"
Property is not showing the value in C++ Custom action when I am calling 
MsiGetProperty(hInstall, L"SETUPLOGLEVEL", Pid, &PidLength). The pid is
showing 0 value after execution of this function also, I checked by
debugging the custom action. Here's my code CustomizeDlg.wxs ::

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

And This is my Custom action:

    #include "stdafx.h"
    
    #include <iostream>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <string>
    #include <algorithm>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    UINT __stdcall CustomAction1(MSIHANDLE hInstall)
    {
        HRESULT hr = S_OK;
        UINT er = ERROR_SUCCESS;
        string search_string;
        string replace_string;
        string inbuf;
    
       DWORD PidLength         = MAX_PATH;
    
        wchar_t Pid[MAX_PATH]   = {L"0"};
    
       MessageBox(NULL,L"debug", L"CustomactionDebug", MB_OK);
       
    
        hr = WcaInitialize(hInstall, "CustomAction1");
        ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to initialize");
        WcaLog(LOGMSG_STANDARD, "Initialized.");
    
        MsiGetProperty(hInstall, L"SETUPLOGLEVEL", Pid, &PidLength);
    
    
      
    
    LExit:
        er = SUCCEEDED(hr) ? ERROR_SUCCESS : ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE;
        return WcaFinalize(er);
    }
    
    
    // DllMain - Initialize and cleanup WiX custom action utils.
    extern "C" BOOL WINAPI DllMain(
        __in HINSTANCE hInst,
        __in ULONG ulReason,
        __in LPVOID
        )
    {
        switch(ulReason)
        {
        case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
                WcaGlobalInitialize(hInst);
                break;
    
        case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
                WcaGlobalFinalize();
                break;
        }

    }
