Forward Declaring enums' for header?

Is it possible to forward declare enums that are defined in a cpp so
that I can have a method defined in the header file with the enum as a
return type?

The user of that function (the includer) would have to see the
definition
of the enum so it has to be defined in *some* *.h file.

I know this has been asked before, but I just can't find the answer in the sea of hits... How do you forward declare a class that is *not* paramaterized, but is based on a template class? Here's what I thought should work, but apparently doesn't: class Foo; void f1(Foo* p)

Now I want InkFrame to be forward declared in the PrefDialog header file rather than to be included. I want to include it in the cpp file instead. There is no harm including it in PrefDialog header, and it works. But I want to save some compilation time....

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
