Or is an operator. Just like And, + (add), -(minus), etc.

Just copy his code and paste it into your Form (with a Button).

Or Operator In API Is Just like the AND operator in VB

How do you figure? I don't understand that statement..

You use OR as a boolean operator, or to set bits.

In this case

EWX_FORCE Or EWX_SHUTDOWN
= 1 OR 4

(Bitwise comparison in binary)

001
100
-----
101 = 5 decimal

The result of using OR in this case is to set the bits to force a shutdown.

What would happen if you used AND instead of OR?
001
100
-----
000 = 0

Then nothing would happen.
