[balupad14 (Balamurugan)]

HI Friends,
I am developing a custom activity. While we are creating the “InArgument” Properties. It will appear a Property for the custom activity in the Studio. for declaring in the custom activity developement like “InArgument,InArgument,InArgument”. You can able see a textbox in the property window for the custom activity. But I want to know how to develop a property like selection. Below i have attached a sample.

Advance thanks

HI @vvaidya,
Thank you. I was trying “public InArgument < ddEnum>” like this. I found my mistake.

Thank you

How to get the selected value in code?@vvaidya @balupad14

Hey @balupad14 @vvaidya,

I am trying to create a dropdown selection property as mentioned above and was also successfully able to see them in the UiPath studio using the above method. However i am not able to get the value of the property from the context to assign it for further use. Its just throws an error that the definition for ‘Get’ is not available.

Can you guys please explain how did you managed to assign the value within the Execute method.?

Thanks,
Rammohan B.

Hi @Rammohan91,

I think you have used the Enum for the dropdown selection . In that case, we don’t need to use the Argument attributes.So you can treat it as like a normal property.
