Maybe you want to assign the value entered in the edit box to a property?

<Control Id="NameEdit" Type="Edit"
         X="45" Y="85" Width="220" Height="18"
         Property="USERNAME" Text="{80}" />

In this example, the edit box will be initialized with the value of the property USERNAME, and the entered text will be stored to USERNAME property which you can use later.

I took this code from WiX Tutorial page.

WiX variables are used only by WiX preprocessor, they're just like defines in C/C++; they do not exist in the resulting MSI package.
