Enumerations?

Hi,

I was wondering if you can create enumerations in VC++ as you can in VB?

I would like an intelisense list to drop down so that I can pick from a list of options.. Is that possible in VC++?

Any help or examples would be great!

Something similar to this:

Code:

---

enum MyEnum {
    val,
    thing,
    that
};

int func(MyEnum thingie) {
        return thingie;
}

---

Although I don't have VC6 so I can't vouch for the Intellisense. Does it work with this?

Thanks! The intellisense does not seem to be available in VC++. I guess if you stop and think about it, it would be kinda hard to implement this feature in C++ because you can overload functions. Therefore, it wouldn't be able to know which function you are calling, unlike in VB.

Oh. VC++ version 6 is supposed to have IntelliSense on functions and structures/classes.

Although even when you overload functions, there are still definite ways of differentiating between them. Except, of course, when they only differ by return type - and that's a C++ error :).
