Yep, you can't do that.
If 'event' is of type 'Type', then you could do "switch(event) { case
TYPE_ONE: .... case TYPE_TWO: ...} ...", because Enum values are considered
to be constant.
Instead, change your switch statement to "if (...) else if (...) { ... }
else if (...) { ... } else if (...) { ...} .. ..." statements. A bit more
typing, but works well :)
