In this window, you can choose the values of the enum expression which require a separate case statement. If you leave enum values not selected, a default (C#) or Case Else (VB.NET / VB / VBA) statement is added.
You can also select if you want to use full names for the enum values or not, and the order of the case statements.
Optionally you can even compose a template to be used for each individual case statement. Such template can include predefined variables such as the name of the enum item or parent enum (with normal case, upper case, underscores, etc.).
Remarks:
- There are some limitations to the expressions that MZ-Tools can resolve in order to get the returned type.
