Thanks for the input.
I'm just using ints for now but I would love to have it a proper enum because
of the information conveyed.

Subject: Re: [Interest] Using another Class's enum in your class
(crickets chirp)
I was wondering if anyone was going to tackle this. It's a question I often
asked. And in finding an answer, I looked at the Qt source code. Which may have
been a bad idea.
With the exception of the "Qt" namespace, that's what Qt does itself, using int
instead of the
enum from another Q_OBJECT class.
The way Qt put Q_ENUMS into the Qt namespace is by pretending it is a QObject
when moc processes it and pretending it is a namespace when it is compiled by
the compiler. Which is a bit of a hack.
Another idea is to put all the Q_ENUMS in the most basey of base classes and
have all of your other classes inherit from that class and then you can use the
Q_ENUM in all the derived types.
I ended up writing my own Enum class that converts to/from int and QString and
using that instead of Q_ENUMS for these kind of situations.
I don't know the best answer to your question. I was hoping someone else would
say something.

The Q_ENUMS() macro will do what I want -- for QObject derived class enums. But
what does one do about an enum that is not QObject derived?
