Hi Sandra,

The way to 'load' enum values like ENABLE/DISABLE in the type system is to
add them to the globals as an Attribute or Constant. Several RTT functions
do it like this, for example rtt/typekit/RealTimeTypekitGlobals.cpp :

GlobalsRepository::shared_ptr globals = GlobalsRepository::Instance();

// Data Flow enums:
globals->setValue( new Constant<FlowStatus>("NoData",NoData) );
globals->setValue( new Constant<FlowStatus>("OldData",OldData) );
globals->setValue( new Constant<FlowStatus>("NewData",NewData) );

Cheers,
Peter
