# Restricted type

This warning category is spelled `[restricted-type]` by qmllint.

## You can't access an unscoped enum from here

### What happened?

You accessed the value of an enum defined in C++ by its enum type name.

### Why is this bad?

Unscoped enums defined in C++ can't be accessed by their enum type name. They will be undefined at runtime.

### Example

     import QtQuick
     import SomeModule // contains MyClass

     Item {
         property int i: MyClass.Hello.World
     }

where MyClass is defined as

     class MyClass: public QObject
     {
         Q_OBJECT
         QML_ELEMENT

     public:
         enum Hello { World };
         Q_ENUM(Hello);
         ...

     };

To fix this warning, remove the unnecessary enum type name from its QML usage:

     import QtQuick

     Item {
         property int i: MyClass.World
     }

If you are the author of the enum, you can also modify the enum definition to use an enum class instead of changing the QML code:

     class MyClass: public QObject
     {
         Q_OBJECT
         QML_ELEMENT

     public:
         enum class Hello { World };
         Q_ENUM(Hello);
         ...
     };
