Of course it didn't - you're using a totally different set of STYLEBITS (study the code I listed and you will see that those two bits are being turned off, not on)!
Why are you using an API call rather than the native LB code I listed? If you must use an API call - which I don't recommend - you are on your own and will need to consult MSDN.

No, the above code works fine using normal LB.
However after some googling, I found this solution
style = _WS_CHILDWINDOW OR _WS_BORDER OR _WS_VISIBLE OR _ES_MULTILINE OR _ES_WANTRETURN OR _WS_VSCROLL
The _ES_WANTRETURN did the trick and the _WS_VSCROLL gives me vertical scrollbars

To reiterate, LB's TEXTEDITOR is not a standard Windows GUI control, therefore it will not respond to STYLEBITS as you might expect. In particular, LB's texteditor cannot do wordwrap at all.
LBB's TEXTEDITOR is a standard Windows GUI control, therefore it will respond to STYLEBITS as documented in MSDN, including wordwrap if the style is carefully chosen.
The LBB code I listed works by clearing two of the STYLEBITS which are otherwise set by default when a TEXTEDITOR is created.
