Enum dependency property not working with intellisense

I have the following UserControl

public partial class TestCtrl : UserControl
{
    public enum Alignments
    {
        HORIZONTAL,
        VERTICAL
    }

    public TestCtrl()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    public static DependencyProperty AlignmentProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
    "Alignment",
    typeof(Alignments),
    typeof(TestCtrl),
    new PropertyMetadata(Alignments.HORIZONTAL));

    public Alignments Alignment
    {
        get
        {
            return (Alignments)GetValue(AlignmentProperty);
        }
        set
        {
            SetValue(AlignmentProperty, value);
        }
    }
}

The property works but auto-complete does not detect possible values for the property when using it in xaml.

Found the answer, turns out according to this howto you need to declare the enum outside of the class with the dependency property
