Re: [Vala] C# developer, newbie question

Thanks, but same result, does it work that way at all?

GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 23:22:53.584: g_enum_get_value_by_name: 
assertion 'G_IS_ENUM_CLASS (enum_class)' failed

EnumClass enumc = (EnumClass)typeof(Gdk.WindowState).class_ref ();
var state = (Gdk.WindowState)enumc.get_value_by_name("FOCUSED").value;


I think it is better and easier to use int and string instead of enum

var val = ((int)get_window().get_state()).to_string();
.....
var state = (Gdk.WindowState)int.parse(val);
