Re: [Vala] Question about the "Standard Enumerations" value

[Émilien Tlapale <emilien tlapale com>]

Hi !
They are "usually" translated to enum members.
So GtkReliefStyle 
<http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-Standard-Enumerations.html#GtkReliefStyle> 
fields, ie GTK_RELIEF_NORMAL, GTK_RELIEF_HALF, GTK_RELIEF_NONE,
are translated to Gtk.ReliefStyle.NORMAL, Gtk.ReliefStyle.HALF.
The c-name prefix, GTK_RELIEF_, GTK_RESIZE_, ... is removed from the 
enum field
name and the resulting name is put in the corresponding Gtk.MyEnum 
enumeration.
++

ps: why isn't there a reply-to field to the ml there ?
