I'm willing to bet somewhere in the code the same thing is done for customparamsets. It's just not exposed to us developers unless we use plugins.

I have to create an event? I've not even created a custom property for that since the parameters are so simple. Why can you call a ppg in that way from the interface, but you can't call it from a script without going into a complicated event set-up? I can't believe there's no easy way to do that. I guess I'll just let the users do it the old fashion way by selecting it manually using the right tab's selection menu.
