[sclug] Using an enum as a method return type in C++

Hi

I am trying to return an enum from a method as shown in the simple example 
below. When I try to compile with kdevelop, I get the following error:

test.cpp:25: syntax error before `::' token 

Is it possible to return an enum, or do I have to return the value as an Int 
(which I dont want to do!)?

Thanks

Tim
