Description
Function GetCustomObjectChoice returns a choice string of the specified plug-in object popup menu or radio group parameter. These parameters are displayed in the Object Info palette or the plug-in objects' creation dialog.
The string passed into the parameter name argument should use the parameter constant syntax, not the actual parameter name. The string should have the prefix character 'P', and should have all spaces replaced with underscore characters. For example, a parameter Jamb Depth would have a constant declared as PJAMB_DEPTH and therefore the parameter name argument to this function should be the string 'PJAMB_DEPTH'.
The choiceIndex parameter should be passed an integer between 1 and the number of choices, which can be determined by calling the NumCustomObjectChoices function.
