switch (es) {
case CS_DISENABLED: return ::CreateSolidBrush(brRed); break;
case CS_ENABLED: return ::GetSysColorBrush(COLOR_WINDOW); break;
case CS_UNDEF: return ::CreateSolidBrush(brRed); break;
default: return ::CreateSolidBrush(brRed); break;
}
What's wrong here?
I'll wait.

1) none of the break statements are ever hit
2) default does not require nor need break statement
3) DISENABLED is a very odd word.
those are all I got right now.

Not to mention that it could be written as:
return (es == CS_ENABLED)?::GetSysColorBrush(COLOR_WINDOW) : ::CreateSolidBrush(brRed);

This is one case where I actually like one-line solutions, especially using the conditional operator. I have a prejudice against using it in any case that takes more than a single line, or at worst something like this:
value = condition ?
true-value :
false-value;Anything more involved than that, and I want it expressed as a complete if statement.

Your #3 was the first thing I noticed, followed by #1. I think #2 is a matter of personal taste, as that works only when the default: case is the last one in the switch statement.
FWIW, "disenabled" grates on my nerves only slightly less than the British word "orientate". I'm a third-generation 'Murican descended from German immigrants, and I use "orient" as the verb.

To the rest of the world (who actually speak English  ), the Orient is a (somewhat dated) way to refer to the Far East. It's where oriental is derived.

The boss just said, "we'll be doing Scrum, but with a Kanban approach" -- just shoot me now.

Had to look up Kanban and should probably look up Scrum too.
All this development methodology stuff is for AR OCD types.
EDIT: OMG, the name Scrumban[^] has actually been coined for this tripe. Well, at least you won't be a guinea pig!

Kanban is just a way to organize tasks, and not to bad either.

Still for AR OCD types. A project needs a few, but I try to keep my distance.

Have to give Henry some credit: he IS a problem solver! Unfortunately, the problems he solves are the exact wrong ones for good products.
