Notes 

Some Progress.Util.EnumHelper methods return a System.Enum class instance. If you want to use the returned System.Enum instance as a different enumeration type, you must cast the instance to that specific type using the CAST function. For example:

 

USING System.Windows.Forms.* FROM ASSEMBLY. USING Progress.Util.* FROM ASSEMBLY.   DEFINE VARIABLE myButton AS Button. DEFINE VARIABLE myStyle  AS System.Enum.   myButton = NEW Button(). myStyle  = EnumHelper:Or( AnchorStyles:Bottom, AnchorStyles:Right ). myButton:Anchor = CAST( myStyle, AnchorStyles ).   /* Displays "Bottom, Right" */ DISPLAY STRING( myButton:Anchor ) FORMAT "x(20)".

For information on the System.Enum class and .NET enumeration types, refer to the .NET Framework class library.
