This article demonstrates a tool for displaying enum values

Sample Image

Introduction

The enum viewer utility is used to read C/C++ include files and pull out the enums and their values. Enter an include file name into the Enum File edit control and press OK. This will a load list of enums found in the file into the Enums combo box. Select an enum from the combo box and its members and the values assigned to the enum member will be listed in the list control. There are two columns. The first column is used to display what the assigned enum value would be. The second column displays the enum text. The utility is useful when working with large enums and you are debugging an application and you are trying to determine what the enum is from a numeric value.

It currently handles enums of the following form:

enum TestEnum
{
   TEST_ENUM_1=100,
   TEST_ENUM_2,
   TEST_ENUM_3,
   TEST_ENUM_4=500,
   TEST_ENUM_5,
   TEST_ENUM_6,
};

enum TestEnum2 { TENUM1, TENUM2, TENUM3=200, TENUM4, };

enum TestEnum3 { TNUM1, TNUM2, TNUM3=200, TNUM4, };

enum {A = 1, B =2};
enum {C,D};

void f()
{
   enum {e, f, g = 20};
}

enum {H, I ,J};

It demonstrates the use of a recent file list in a MFC dialog based application.
