HI
You can only do that if the enum is only used from inside the class. If you
call a class member from another class that needs the enum you must declare
it outside the class.

Subject: [msvc] const enum data member
> I would like to declare an enum at class scope, and use that enum as the
type of a const class member. I've tried different ways to do it, moved the
order around, etc. but I can't get it to compile. Is there a way to do
this?
