Set Custom Properties for a custom field type within a content type feature

Question

Hi,

I have created a custom field type (derived from SPFieldText) and added a custom property "MyProperty". Now what I am looking for is, I need to use this field type in my Content Type feature.

How can I specity my custom property within a Content Type definition file, just like what we do with OOB field types?

I've seen a workaround here but it only solves only the problem of XSD validation. Site column is getting installed properly but the value that I specify in the feature is not set for the column after installing the feature.

Thank in advance

Arun
