Hello everybody,
i have an xml file which i read during start-up and write when the programm is quit.
The dataset is read into a qmap during parsing. Two parameters i read through the process are form typ enum.


Qt Code: 
  1. ///*! Enum for xxx names*/
  2.     typedef enum {
  3.         x1 = 0,                   /***/
  4.         x3,                         /***/
  5.         x8,                       /***/
  6.         undefined_xxNames       /***/
  7.     }EnumxxNames;
  8.     QString getEnumxxNames(EnumxxNames element);
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
Qt Code: 
  1. QString graphicsEnum::getEnumxxNames(EnumxxNames element)
  2. {
  3.     switch(element)
  4.     {
  5.     case x1:
  6.         return QString("x1");
  7.     case x3:
  8.         return QString("x3");
  9.     case  x8:
  10.         return QString("x8");
  11.     default:
  12.         return QString::number(element);
  13.     }
  14. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

in xml parser

Qt Code: 
  1. qDebug()<<readItem(xx,getStringXMLItem(Properties),getStringXMLItemProperties(xxName));
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
Note readItem gives back a Qstring -->
reads out x1, x3,x8

if i want to conert that back to the enum using static cast

Qt Code: 
  1. qDebug()<<getEnumxxNames(static_cast<EnumxxNames>(readItem(xx,getStringXMLItem(Properties),getStringXMLItemProperties(xxName)));
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
reads out x8

why is that...what is wrong here....
Is there a other way to get this done ?
