Using the ListenActivity Activity
The ListenActivity activity is a composite activity that contains a minimum of two child activities. Each child activity must be an EventDrivenActivity activity. Only the EventDrivenActivity branch that is associated with the first IEventActivity event raised is executed; all other branches are canceled.
The ListenActivity activity is generally used in a workflow which is listening for a set of events, so that the workflow will continue execution when any one of the events arrives. As a result, when one of the events is received, the other ListenActivity activities stop listening for their respective events.
