How to inheriting a enum type?

[stampede]

There is no way to directly inherit an enum in C++.
But you can create a simple workaround:

class MyEnumBase{
public:
    enum{
       Symbol1,
       Symbol2
    };
};
 
class MyEnumDerived : public MyEnumBase{
public:
    enum{
        Symbol3 = Symbol2+1,
        Symbol4
    };
};

class MyEnumBase{
public:
    enum{
       Symbol1,
       Symbol2
    };
};

class MyEnumDerived : public MyEnumBase{
public:
    enum{
        Symbol3 = Symbol2+1,
        Symbol4
    };
};
