I am confused by the two expressions below, which are written in a tutorial explaining WIN API:

First:
Code:

style = WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SS_BLACKFRAME;


What does the "|" mean in the expression? I know that it is setting the appearance of a control, but why use "|"? Is it a binary OR? Or is it a required way to set the windows style?

Second:
Code:

if (*c == 0) style |= ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL;


What does the "|=" mean?

Thanks in advance.

first one does a binary OR of WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SS_BLACKFRAME and stores the result in style

the second one can be rewritten as
Code:

style = style | ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL;


which OR's ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL with style

basically OR just sets flags (doesn't remove them) so you can see it as just adding these options to the existing style options
