you can cast enum value to QString and then write it using QSettings.

Thanks.

there is method only for QMainWindow

QByteArray QMainWindow::saveState ( int version = 0 ) const

in anohter case you need to do this manually.

Thanks for Your Response.

you can do this using this method

QString::number
Returns a string equivalent of the number n according to the specified base.

or can do this

enum MyEnum {MyValue, ....};
...
QSettings settings("test.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);
settings.setValue("MyEnumValue", MyValue);
...

enum MyEnum {MyValue, ....};
...
QSettings settings("test.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);
settings.setValue("MyEnumValue", MyValue);
...

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

in result you'll get in ini-file

MyEnumValue=0

You could also make it as follows:

enum MyEnum {MyValue...};
Q_ENUMS(MyEnum);
.
.
.
QString enum2Str(MyEnum value, const QString &enumName = "MyEnum") {
    const QMetaObject &mo = SetupExporter::staticMetaObject;
    int index = mo.indexOfEnumerator(enumName.toLatin1().constData());
    QMetaEnum metaEnum = mo.enumerator(index);
    return QString(metaEnum.valueToKey(value));
}
.
.
.
QSettings settings("test.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);
settings.setValue(enum2Str(MyValue), MyValue);

enum MyEnum {MyValue...};
Q_ENUMS(MyEnum);
.
.
.
QString enum2Str(MyEnum value, const QString &enumName = "MyEnum") {
    const QMetaObject &mo = SetupExporter::staticMetaObject;
    int index = mo.indexOfEnumerator(enumName.toLatin1().constData());
    QMetaEnum metaEnum = mo.enumerator(index);
    return QString(metaEnum.valueToKey(value));
}
.
.
.
QSettings settings("test.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);
settings.setValue(enum2Str(MyValue), MyValue);
