implicit enum conversion - enum to int

New comment
 

Hi!

I want to explicitly convert 'enum' type into 'int' type.

// --- global variables ---
enum TRADE_TYPE{DontTradeType,TradeType,BuyOnlyType,SellOnlyType};TRADE_TYPE Trade_type;
// then I pass 'Trade_type' into function call - SetBtnText(setSparam, Trade_type);
// --- TRADE BUTTON TOGGLE --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void TradeBtnToggle(long chartID,string sparam)
  {
   long setChartID=chartID;
   string setSparam=sparam;
   switch(Trade_type)
     {
      case DontTradeType:
        {
         Trade=true;BuyOnly=false;SellOnly=false;Trade_type=TradeType;SetBtnText(setSparam,Trade_type);break;
         Print("-TradeBtnToggleF()- setSparam= "+setSparam); // test
        }
    ...
}}
// --- SET BUTTON TEXT AND COLOR --------------------------------------------------------------------------
void SetBtnText(string setSparam, int value)
  {
   string btnTxtSparam=setSparam;
   if(btnTxtSparam=="Trade_btn")
     {
     Trade_type=value; // Trade_type=(int)value - 'implicit...' warning
      Print("-SetBtnTextF()- btnTxtSparam= "+btnTxtSparam+" - value= "+value); // test
     }
  }

As written above in the code, Trade_type=(int)value is still producing 'implicit enum conversion' warning. The code compiles OK, since by default 'enum' type is integer (int?), and the Print returns i.e.

2015.05.14 16:47:36.893    MovChi EA EURAUD,H1: -SetBtnTextF()- btnTxtSparam= Trade_btn - value= 1.

For the sake of learning to better understand coding and for the sake of minimizing warnings, please help me resolve this issue.

Thank you,

Best regards,

It used to default to the int type, but it does not any longer.  Correct casting is

 Trade_type=(TRADE_TYPE)value;

Ovo, you are DaMan! It works like a charm. Thank you very mucho!

Exactly. Perhaps Chistabo and Leovader should read the manual: Typecasting of Numeric Types
 
Thank you for your post even though its old it still hold meaning
 
Thank you very much! Me helped too.
