There isn't really and documentation on this I figured it out from the code so 
it is possible my observations are wrong.

1. Yes.
2. The Name property of the control will be set as a variable of the same name 
e.g.:
    <Checkbox Name="Check1" X="11" Y="275" Width="-11" Height="17" 
TabStop="yes" FontId="3" HideWhenDisabled="yes">Checkbox titile</Checkbox>
Will set the variable Check1. The options page only support textboxes and 
checkboxes.
3. Just the name.

Subject: [WiX-users] Configuration for options in standard bootstrapper

I've spent the last hour or so looking around for documentation on how to 
specify additional UI elements in the option screen of the standard 
bootstrapper.  I can't really find any documentation on how to do this, 
although I see some examples of this being done in Neil's extended BA with a 
(somewhat vague) reference to the same features being available on in the 
standard BA option page.

So ... I have the following questions:

1. I can see that the UI elements are specified in the theme files. Do I have 
to use a custom theme to drive the UI?  (Presumably Yes).

2. I don't see how UI elements are bound to either internal Burn variables or 
to Wix variables. How are variables bound to UI elements?
Or, more generally, how can I tie the value of an option UI element to 
something that I can eventually use in a condition?

3. Are there are naming conventions or something in play that implicitly does 
this binding.

Cheers.
