So, since you already made the changes, skip to the part where you generate a .diff file and apply the patch. I've never patched anything in the Enums window myself, but it should work the same way.

The thing is i edit something in the enums window,but if i make a .diff file,it won`t show me any changes.Also where can i find that ida patcher that says in that guide?I can`t seem to find it :/ Thanks again all!

You have to edit the config file to get the patch menu to appear. It might not be possible to patch the enum data, especially if the enums are actually in a different exe (e.g. part of a standard library). Like I said, I haven't ever changed anything in the enums window but a .diff file is more or less how IDA supports patching.

If you need help with reversing, check out the #vana IRC channel on Fyrechat. A few of us are experienced, but the others are more familiar with IDA than I am.
