Okey Ive had this problem long enough so im posting it up here in hopes that one of you can quickly spot my error. struct somestruct{ enum Value {TRUE, FALSE} }; void someFunction(somestruct *AStruct) { if(AStruct->Value == TRUE) //<-error TRUE is undefined DOTHIS } Thanks in advance, Chuck

Anything you place inside a struct or class ends up in that class''s scope. Therefore you need tell the compiler which class to look for the identifier in using the scope operator. Your code should therefore be:

void someFunction(somestruct *AStruct)
{
if(AStruct->Value == somestruct::TRUE)
DOTHIS
}

You may also find that
if(AStruct->Value == AStruct.TRUE)
works also, but if so, that is just confusing

enum Value {TRUE, FALSE}

is just a type definition - like

struct Structure
{
bool bRightOrWrong;
};

is just a type definition. To use the enum you have to declare/define a variable using this type:

somestruct::Value MyValueC;

MyValue=somestruct::TRUE;

Ok? You can''t store values inside of somestruct::Value - it is "just" a type.

Hope this helped,
