Enumerations

[SuperDre]

Hi,

I was wondering how can you use enumerations? With that I mean like TypeCasting, comparing/setting to/from an integer.

ex.

enum EColor
{
  colRed,
  colGreen,
  colBlue
};

var int       i;
var EColor  eColor;

 i=eColor;
 switch(i)
 {
  case colRed: doSomething; break;
  case colBlue: doSomething; break;
  case colGreen: doSomething; break;
 };

Just try it. Much faster than writing a question and waiting for an answer.

What you can't do, anyway, is casting a number to an enum type. Everything else is quite intuitive.

And please use [code]...[/code] tags when you quote code in order to preserve its indentation. Thanks.

And please use [ code ]...[ /code ] tags when you quote code in order to preserve its indentation

You should put that in your sig. Would probably save you some typing

However you can get the name of an enum using this function:

GetEnum(Enum'EnumName', 2)

Sorry for the missing code tags, it's been awhile since I posted..

Damn I figured something out... When typecasting you have to put the Enum in front of it...

var int  i;
var EColor  eCLR;

  i=int(EColor.colRed)     //This works
  i=int(colRed)              //This gives an error

So there is no way to do (see following)?

var int  i;
var EColor  eCLR;

  i=2;
  eCLR=EColor(i);  //1.
  eCLR=ord(i);      // don't know if such a function exists

Otherwise it's just better to use consts... (That's what I'm using now, but I would like Enums better, they keep the code more neat.. (I'm used to VB..)
