                    The most annoying thing about cr@ppy code like that is that it usually works. Any self-respecting computer should billow forth plumes of black smoke on meeting such drivel.

                      "If forecolor red then disable(control) else if forecolor black then enable(control)" Oooh sounds like a system I had to suffer/work on; not the Credit Derivative VB code at a certain north American bank?! Except, that used colour to denote state, so the controls could be any one of about 6 different colours...

                                My favourite was "delete this" in a class destructor. Hours of ROFL on that one.

                                Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

                                  Color-blind users need not apply... It seems that just introducing constants for the colors could help with readability. public const Color NotApplicable = Color.Red but I am pretty sure that this one liner just scrapes the surface.

                                    It is beyond that. Who bases control state based upon its adjacent text color?????
