I’m working on a custom activity where I want to deal with some boolean properties.
Now those boolean properties are also being displayed as a normal text field(like string related properties). I wanted to add a toggle /check box in place of a text area.
Attached a boolean property, FYR…
P.S. [Category("Options")] property is not making any change.
Could you please mock-up how you want this to look like? Could you maybe mock-up your requirement, I’m not sure I understand 
Is it something like this?
Thanks, @loginerror for your response.
This is how my custom activity’s boolean property should look like
I need to change the input approach of a boolean property from typing to toggling the checkbox, just like above-shown picture.
Although I’m not sure about the answer, I think you could go over the code of our Open Source FTP activity which has such a checkbox:
You can find the code of this activity here:
Yes @loginerror … I’ve followed the same approach in code but after publishing and using the activity in UiPath, this is how it is appearing. I want a check/toggle box instead of a normal text field.
@ManiPrajwal_K can you please share a bit of your code which declares the property?
Do you want a static property (i.e. a property which you can set through a checkbox at design time)? Do you want an InArgument (i.e. a property which can take a variable or other expression and resolve it at runtime)?
Hi, @Tudor_Sandu thanks for the response. Sorry, I cannot share any snippet related to my organization. Just to give a glance, I have declared my property as a Boolean datatype.
Then I need a Static one. Which can set through a Check box while designing the workflow.
Eg:
I need to add a checkbox beside the Display property.
Previously I’ve used [Category("Options")] for a boolean property, now it is not working. I’m not sure why!
Hi please refer this post
TL;DR
public bool Bool_property { get; set; }
public Boolean Boolean_property { get; set; }
both of these should produce a checkbox in the property panel.
If it still doesn’t work for you, we need to see some code to debug.
This is how I declared my property:
public InArgument<bool> Display { get; set; }
Yes, and you have to declare it as bool instead of InArgument<bool> if you want it to look like in your screenshots above.
Thanks, @Tudor_Sandu for the suggestion, but if I try to change it I’m getting the attached error!
The above show Get method was a code generated by the Activity creator.
Can you try “var display = Display;” ?
