Parallel activity example

Hey @ankwoods

Your understanding is correct and that is also correct what MSDN article says.

Here You are not able to detect the difference because of the Type Into Activity with Simulate property checked.

if you will check simulate of the Type into Property.it simulates the type using the technology of the target application. This input method(Simulate) is the fastest of the three(Default, Simulate type, Window Messages) and works in the background. By default, this check box is not selected. If neither this nor the SendWindowMessages check boxes are selected, the default method performs the click using the hardware driver. The default method is the slowest, it cannot work in the background, but it is compatible with all desktop apps.

You can give it a simple try with simple write line activity as well with different Text . then you will observe what MSDN says. Once it will complete first sequence of parallel then it will move to next.
Or it can jump to the next also if you will use with invoke with isolated.Check it here. This is all about operating system Context switching as per Round Robin Algo on a single CPU.

If you will pass more activities after type into in the same sequence you will observe the behavior. :slight_smile: What MSDN Article States.
