Get a Kinect JointType by its ID number instead of its name

Question

Is there anyway to retrieve a "joint type" by its value, instead of by its name?

For example, instead of (joints[JointType.ShoulderRight]);, we write (joints[8]);.

According to JointType Enumeration, when I do the latter, it gives me the following error

Cannot convert from 'int' to 'Microsoft.Kinect.JointType'

Answer 1

This is the way I use in my sources.

You just need to do a cast :

JointType myJoint;
myJoint = (JointType)8;

after that you can write:

(joints[myJoint]);
