## Interface DynEnumOperations

- All Superinterfaces:
    DynAnyOperations
  All Known Subinterfaces:
    DynEnum
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    _DynEnumStub

      public interface DynEnumOperations
      extends DynAnyOperations

  DynEnum objects support the manipulation of IDL enumerated values. The current position of a DynEnum is always -1.

- - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `String` | `get_as_string()` | Returns the value of the DynEnum as an IDL identifier.
    `int` | `get_as_ulong()` | Returns the value of the DynEnum as the enumerated value's ordinal value.
    `void` | `set_as_string(String value)` | Sets the value of the DynEnum to the enumerated value whose IDL identifier is passed in the value parameter.
    `void` | `set_as_ulong(int value)` | Sets the value of the DynEnum as the enumerated value's ordinal value.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### get_as_string

          String get_as_string()

      Returns the value of the DynEnum as an IDL identifier.

    - #### set_as_string

          void set_as_string(String value)
                      throws InvalidValue

      Sets the value of the DynEnum to the enumerated value whose IDL identifier is passed in the value parameter.
      Throws:
        `InvalidValue` - If value contains a string that is not a valid IDL identifier for the corresponding enumerated type

    - #### get_as_ulong

          int get_as_ulong()

      Returns the value of the DynEnum as the enumerated value's ordinal value. Enumerators have ordinal values 0 to n-1, as they appear from left to right in the corresponding IDL definition.

    - #### set_as_ulong

          void set_as_ulong(int value)
                     throws InvalidValue

      Sets the value of the DynEnum as the enumerated value's ordinal value.
      Throws:
        `InvalidValue` - If value contains a value that is outside the range of ordinal values for the corresponding enumerated type
