To do: Assigning name to the integer value using enum for the Win32 file open flags

To show: Another enum C++ code example, enumerating the file open flags

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// enum definition

enum FileOpenFlags

{

// defined here...

OpenReadOnly = 1,

// using OpenReadOnly as the next initializer and so on...

OpenReadWrite = OpenReadOnly,

OpenBinary = OpenReadWrite,

OpenText = OpenBinary,

OpenShareable = OpenText

};

int main(void)

{

// Used a lot in Win32 programming...

cout<<"Test the OpenReadOnly value = "<<OpenReadOnly<<endl;

cout<<"Test the OpenReadWrite value = "<<OpenReadWrite<<endl;

cout<<"Test the OpenBinary value = "<<OpenBinary<<endl;

cout<<"Test the OpenText value = "<<OpenText<<endl;

cout<<"Test the OpenShareable value = "<<OpenShareable<<endl;

return 0;

}

Output example:

Test the OpenReadOnly value = 1

Test the OpenReadWrite value = 1

Test the OpenBinary value = 1

Test the OpenText value = 1

Test the OpenShareable value = 1
