enumerated types

[Alan T]

I want to define enuermated types to be use by other classes:

enum node_types
{
categories, no_sections, email
}

How do I make this to be accessed by other classes?

eg.
switch (aTypes)
{
case categories:
case no_sections:
case email:
default:
}

Hi Alan,

You need to define 'node_types' to be public (unless it's intentional that
they are internal):

///
public enum node_types
{
...
}
///

But, when using them, you also need to fully-qualify the enumeration name:

///
switch ( aTypes )
{
case node_types.categories:
...
break;

case node_types.no_sections:
...
break;
}
///

Google first, ask later.
