triangle in enum

What does that little triangle in the upper left corner of an enum signify? Goes it mean that the enum is type cast like in a refnum?

Not "type cast".

 

It means it has a type definition.

It is linked to a Type Defined (Type Def) control file (.ctl).

It means it's a separate file and you can r-click it and select "Open type def". If you change the type def all instances of the enum is thus updated. Quite nifty.
