How to use an Enum as Source for a RadComboBox?

[David Lino]

Hi, I'm willing to use an Enum as source of a combo box, so I can handle the selection using something like this:

public enum MyEnum: byte { Normal , Diff }
    public partial class Dialog : Window
    {
          
        public Dialog()
        {
            InitializeComponent();       
        }

        private void OKButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            MyEnum x = (MyEnum)myComboBox.SelectedItem;
            switch ( x ){
                case MyEnum .Normal : // do something
                         break;
                case MyEnum .Diff : // do somethiing
                         break;
            }
        }
   }

Thanks

Hi again.

There you said: "Of course, if you create the EnumModel in the code behind you will be able to provide any Enum Type you want – in this case the modifications in the TypeTypeConverter class will not be necessary."

Could you put a example of How would I do this in my code?

When I'm trying to use my own enums I get this error on the "EnumType" field on XAML: The type reference cannot find a public type named "..."

Thanks.

(Sry for the up, but I'm in kinda hurry for this)
