Class method returns an enum declared in the class . (COMPILATION ERROR)

G-HB

Hi,

I have defined an enum inside a class. The I would want to implement a class method that returns a value of this enum.
I´m pretty sure that I am doing something incorrectly. Please , can you help me?

(Code: simplifing a big class A)

class A : public B
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
enum DcConnectorIdx
{
DC_CONN_1,
DC_CONN_2,
DC_CONN_3,
DC_CONN_4,
DC_CONN_5,
DC_CONN_6,
DC_CONN_7,
DC_CONN_8
};
Q_ENUM(DcConnectorIdx)

    /*
       A lot of pubic methods not related to the problem......
   */
protected:
       DcConnectorIdx getSatelliteId(SatelliteId satelliteId);

};

Issue rported by compiler is:

error: ‘DcConnectorIdx’ does not name a type 2258 | DcConnectorIdx A::getSatelliteId(SatelliteId satelliteId)

Thanks in advance !!!

In your cpp file, you need to add class name there:

A::DcConnectorIdx A::getSatelliteId(SatelliteId satelliteId)
{
  // implementation
}
