Cant define enum type in IDL project - .idl file

[edwin98thompson]

Attempting to define an IDL which features an enum as a field and project wont compile. Project configuration is not an issue as build succeeds when only the long data type is present. I believe I am defining the enum as per the documentation.

Code snippet as shown:

Example of some of the errors:

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Your issue is not the definition of the enum in the IDL but the field IGNORE defined inside... IGNORE is a constant defined in WinBase.h and the compiler complains about in the enum definition.

It is happening only in Windows and in the code generated by OpenDDS so I don't think we can do much about.

Can you change the name to STATE_IGNORE for example and try again?

That fixed the problem, many thanks!
