Of course, because the compiler does not support that use of '[] brackets.
Your use of the '<<' operator is the correct way to go.

That is only for visual display, not for actual coding.  Also, Delphi pascal
does use '[]' brackets in certain Set operations, and the VCL itself is
largely written in Delphi, not C++.

Correct.  The '=' operator is only used when assigning one Set to another,
not for assigning individual flags.  That is what the '<<' operator is for
instead.  For example:

    WaitFlags WFlags1;
    WaitFlags WFlags2;

    // you can use '<<' to assign multiple flags at one time
    WFlags1 << fCTS /* << fDSR << fRxFlag << etc... */;
    WFlags2 = WFlags1;
