How to declare enum using attribute in VC++ .Net?

[Woon Kiat Wong]

Hi,

Using IDL, I can declare my enumeration like following,

library MyAppLib
{
importlib("stdole32.tlb");
importlib("stdole2.tlb");

typedef enum MyColor
{
ORANGE = 1,
RED = 2
} MyColor;

}

COM compatible client like VB can use the enum from their application
when import this library. How can I achieve the same thing in Visual
C++ .Net using attribute? I have tried [export] and [v1_enum], but the
enum is only exported to IDL like following

typedef enum MyColor
{
ORANGE = 1,
RED = 2

} MyColor;

library MyAppLib
{
importlib("stdole32.tlb");
importlib("stdole2.tlb");

........

}

I need the enum to be in the library section. Anyone knows how to solve
this?

regards,
Woon Kiat

Here you have an example. This code is working for me in and ATL Attributed
project.
Tell us if it works or not.

[
export,
uuid("CCA6D17A-17F9-47d2-86AD-DB64B273B5C1"),
helpstring("MsgType"),
library_block
]
enum eMsgType
{
mtA = 1,
mtB = 2,
mtC = 3,
mtD = 4
}
