How to: create an enumeration user setting

Hi,

Is it possible to store a custom enumeration directly as a user setting

This would result in a user setting having the enumeration as type, as opposed to using a string or integer type.

Regards, Tonn

    Thanks for your reply.
    However googling as well as a forum search is always the first thing I do and I came up empty.

    Hi RizwanSharp,

    Thanks very much!
    In hindsight it looks like a matter of overlooking the obvious. Somehow I completely missed the possibility of filling in the fully qualified name. You've been very helpful.

    Regards, Tonn

    tonn, I tried to search it but now luck, Then thought to try it myself and got it done ;)

    1. Create a an enum
    2. Add a new Setting and in The Type Column, drop down the list in Last you'll see "Browse..." Click the Browse
    3. A New Dialog witll open with Types, And There is a TextBox bellow, Put the complete Qualified name of your enum like NameSpaceName.EnumName, Click OK and Done!!!
    4. Now in Value Column, You'll see All Possible Values of that enum type.

    Cheers ;-)

    Hey that's great. I like this feature.

    Is it also possivble to havbe a collection of enums. I managed to get them entered, but the settings will be empty afterwards. Itried several ways like:

    myNamespace.myEnum[]

    or having a object derived from List<myEnum>

    both does not work.

    I think Arrays are Not Supported in this but not Sure. but I think you can Use List as a setting. Have to double check it coz I never needed to do something like this and have always been happy with some basic types like int, float string. Try to do it and tell me if I can help you!

    Cheers!
