I've been programming in C mostly, and I've become accustomed to being able to do things like this:

typedef enum TEST_ENUM_t
{
    TEST0,
    TEST1,
    TEST2,
    TEST3
} TEST_ENUM_t;

TEST_ENUM_t TestIndex;

for (TestIndex = TEST0; TestIndex <= TEST3; TestIndex++)
{
    // Do something
}

Well, now I'm trying to do something like this for some test driver software written in Visual C++ which will be used to test C functions. When I attempt to do something like I have above in Visual C++, I get the following error:

(Toggle Plain Text)

error C2676: binary '++' : 'TEST_ENUM_t' does not define this operator or a conversion to a type acceptable to the predefined operator

Is there a way to do something similar to the code above in Visual C++?

Thank you.
