How can I use FName as enum?

I’m trying to use the PostEditChangeProperty. It seems recommended to use it like so.

FName PropertyName = (PropertyChangedEvent.Property != nullptr)
		? PropertyChangedEvent.Property->GetFName() : NAME_None;

Then do some if statement checking with GET_MEMBER_NAME_CHECKED. Is there a way I can convert the FName to an Enum so that I can use a switch statement with it? I’m a little confused on how I should use it if I have to ask a series of if statements for each value in my class for updating. This may be a c++ question ultimately but I was curious if UE4 had an existing conversion method that I could jump off of?

Fnames are dynamic at runtime, Enums are static at compile time, and Enums are limited to 256 entries, so a general solution for conversion from Fnames to Enums seems impossible.

i think you should instead make an array of Fnames, and use find to get an index, then you can switch on int.
