Question:
CActive defines an enum of priorities with the same names as the global TProcessPriority enum. This can sometimes lead to the compiler assuming the CActive one when the TProcessPriority was intended. How do I make the compiler use the right one?

Answer:
You can force the compiler to use the right one by using the :: construct to tell it the class/namespace the enum you want resides in, for example:

CActive::EPriorityHigh
::EPriorityHigh // use TProcessPriority

(Note that omitting the namespace/class name before the double colon means the global namespace).

So for example:

someProcess.SetPriority( ::EPriorityHigh );
