I am trying to create a custom library of activities to interact with Excel in some ways that are not available in the base set of activities. I am struggling to find documentation on how to create a scope activity with the latest template provided for creating custom activities. I have followed the guide for creating a basic activity using this page (https://docs.uipath.com/sdk/other/latest/developer-guide/creating-activities-with-code) but it does not include information on scope activities.
Other examples I have seen online use a set of classes included in the deprecated UiPath Activity Builder extension for Visual Studio.
Is there official documentation on how to create scope activities using the latest template?
It uses an ActivityAction as it did in the past. The only downside to this new way of building activities is that you’re forced to use a sequence as a child activity container. This means that if you want to model your process in a flowchart you’ll have:
Scope | Sequence | Flowchart
With no possibility to remove the sequence. If you succeed to do so please let me know because I’m stuck on that.
Im trying to inspire myself with this solution but my scope doesn’t have a sequence where I can drag the child activities. If I understood correctly the goal is to have an ActivityAction where T is the type of the object I want the child to access. I initialize that ActivityAction with the argument field as a new DelegateInArgument(property name) and the Handler field as a new Sequence(), and that should do the trick. Right?
