How to declare enum using attribute in VC++ .Net?

[Woon Kiat]

Hi,

Using IDL, I can declare my enumeration like following,

library MyAppLib
{
importlib("stdole32.tlb");
importlib("stdole2.tlb");

typedef enum MyColor
{
ORANGE = 1,
RED = 2
} MyColor;

}

COM compatible client like VB can use the enum from their application
when import this library. How can I achieve the same thing in Visual
C++ .Net using attribute? I have tried [export] and [v1_enum], but the
enum is only exported to IDL like following

typedef enum MyColor
{
ORANGE = 1,
RED = 2

} MyColor;

library MyAppLib
{
importlib("stdole32.tlb");
importlib("stdole2.tlb");

........

}

I need the enum to be in the library section. Anyone knows how to solve
this?

My question is how can I achieve the same thing using Visual C++ .Net?

So, you want to declare an enum in C++ ?

enum MagicValues
{
ONE = 42,
TWO = 3,
THREE = 0
};

What is the C++ problem you want to solve ?

Oh, and btw.:

C++ doesn't know anything about '[export] and [v1_enum]'.

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vc is the correct place to get your
answers.
