It was just an observation :~)
I got an unexpected coding failure on
iflag = iflag or v
- as you might in the general case if API SetWindowPos was expecting a
'long' flag value and you unexpectedly tried to pass it a null.
The only flags I regularly use in VB are the recordset open flags
dao.dbSeeChanges or dao.dbFailOnError.
When I have done bit operations in vb, I haven't wanted null propagation,
so the null propagation rules are important, and the exception for iflag=0
is an important case.
But I use '+' for bit operations in SQL, so I wouldn't object to somebody
using '+' for consistency
The msgbox flags are a special case :~) since most of the examples over
many years have used '+'
