The problem is that default access is internal.  To override that you need
to specific either the access on the enum or its parent class.  Unmanaged
C++ doesn't have that concept and you'd have to used C++/CLI syntax which
only applies to managed types.

I know of nothing that changes the default access to be something other
than internal for a project or a module.

I also see nothing in the .NET 1.0, 1.1, or 2.0 assemblies about
NativeEnumAttribute.  My guess is the documentation is wrong and
NativeEnumAttribute is replaced by ScopelessEnumAttribute.

You should be able to use a managed enum in native code in the same
module, if that's what you need to do.
