Is there no way to fire a property change event from a custom action
DLL?

I
apologize if this is old hat, but I am looking to validate a serial
number. There are two buttons "Next" and "Check Serial", along with a
maskededit box linked to the "Serial_Number" property.
When I click the "Check Serial" button it runs the validation DLL which
then reads the "Serial_Number" property and sets the "SerialAccepted"
property to "1" if success and unsets the property on failure.
This "SerialAccepted" property is the condition for enabling and
disabling the "Next" button. When I run this setup, everything works;
the "Serial_Number" property is read and the "SerialAccepted" property
is set to "1". However, the "Next" button remains disabled. If I
click back to go to the previous dialog and then forward again the
"Next" button is enabled. It appears to be a refresh issue with the
button, not that it isn't getting the event.
I've spent quite a lot of time on this and just can't seem to pull it
off. What am I doing wrong?
Example code:
<Binary Id="License_Helper"
SourceFile="$(env.SETUP_FILES_DIR)\license_helper.dll"/>
<CustomAction Id='Test_Serial' BinaryKey='License_Helper'
DllEntry='ValidateSerial' Execute='immediate' Return='asyncWait'/>
<UI>
<Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243"
Width="56" Height="17" Text="!(loc.WixUINext)" >
<Condition Action=""><![CDATA[SerialAccepted
<> "1"]]></Condition>
<Condition Action="">SerialAccepted =
"1"</Condition>
</Control>
<Control Id="Check_Serial" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="203"
Width="56" Height="17" Text="Check Serial" >
<Publish Event="DoAction"
Value="Test_Serial">1</Publish>
</Control>
<Control Id="Serial_Number_MaskedEdit" Type="MaskedEdit"
X="20" Y="100" Width="205" Height="15" Property="Serial_Number">
<Text><![CDATA[<????-????-??-????-????>]]></Text>
<Publish Event="DoAction"
Value="Test_Serial">1</Publish>
</Control>
</UI>
