Syntax

GetEnumNames ( )

Notes

*The list of names returned is in order of ascending numerical values, regardless of whether the values were explicitly set. For flag enum types, the members with positive numeric values are listed in ascending order first, and then the members with negative numeric values are listed next, also in ascending order.
*If two or more members are defined with the same numeric value, there is no guarantee for the order in which they are returned.
