enum scope

hi all,

i have a global enum defined as:

Code:

---

enum EditType {Currency, Percent, LabeledNumber, Text};

---

then i have a class with an enum defined identically:

Code:

---

class A : public QWidget
{
 public:
     A();
     ~A();
 
    enum  EditTypeBase {Currency, Percent, LabeledNumber, Text};
   EditTypeBase LineType;
...
}

---

in the function definitions i need to map from EditTypeBase to EditType. i HAVE to do it this way because of the meta-object compiler.

how do i compare the two enums?

Code:

---

EditType A::GetType()
{
   if (LineType == Currency)
      return EditType::Currency;
...
}

---

this gives a syntax error. the first 'Currency' is from EditTypeBase defined inside the class, but the 2nd 'Currency' is of type EditType defined outside. how do i properly refer to EditType enumerators within class A since they have the same names as the ones defined inside the class?
thanks:)

never mind -- was forced to go a different direction ...
