If you can't check that it is really an enum value, why bother?
wx itself accepts int for enum? ex:
// Bitmap flags
enum wxBitmapType
{
wxBITMAP_TYPE_INVALID, // should be == 0 for compatibility!
wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP,
wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP_RESOURCE,
...
wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY = 50
};
wxImage(const wxString& name, long type = wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY, int index = -1)

Ok.
