  @Michael-Vincent said in Notepad++ Language List: I may “borrow” that :-) @dinkumoil It’s in Pascal! argh! I converted your recommendation into C++ (i think): TCHAR langName[MAX_PATH]; lang_menu.clear(); do { SendMessage( nppData._nppHandle, NPPM_GETLANGUAGENAME, i, ( LPARAM ) langName ); lang_menu.push_back( wstrtostr( langName )); i++; } while ( strcmp( wstrtostr( langName ).c_str(), "External" ) != 0 ); lang_menu.push_back( "GLOBAL" ); This way no dependence on L_EXTERNAL or the Notepad_plus_msgs.h file. Thanks for taking the time to recommend that! Cheers.

  … okay solution is found … The setup-zip only include the file for “Notepad++/plugin/MYPLUGINNAME/.*”-files. Not into subdir, but direct in root! On Github create an “release” with versionnumber and desription. Put in the setup-zip. Now can install the plugin over pluginmanager. regards Mario

  Hello, @Timothy-Suhr Based on your question, my suggestion is below: Grammarly cannot be used in Notepad++ because there is no support for it, like for example the add-on for MS Office products. The only way is to copy/paste text between the Notepad++ software and Grammarly software, which is very time consuming. I hope above information will be useful for you. Thank you.

  @Roy-Messi , Your plugin’s DLL needs to be located in Notepad++_install_folder\plugins\YourPluginName\YourPluginName.dll Check if it is there.

  Hello, @Oleksandr Follow these steps, To change order of document: Step 1 :-First and foremost, add some marking letters or numbers before the section contents and apply them with the same level of heading style. Step 2 :-Next click “View” tab. Step 3 :-Then check the “Navigation Pane” box in “Show” group. Step 4 :-Now there shall be the navigation pane on the screen. You can see all sections with the same level of heading style applied are there. You just need to click and drag it to the position you want I hope above Information will be useful for you. Thank you.

  @Steve-Mullock You used the term “Plugin Manager” twice. Did you really mean that, or do you mean “Plugins Admin”?

  @Ekopalypse What I meant, I said badly. “it ITS” should have been “in ITS” for one thing. I thought (maybe wrongly) that the OP didn’t see an exported function from the plugin DLL called anywhere by other code (within the plugin), so they thought it was unused.

  Hi, @pnedev and All, Seemingly, the nppPluginList.dll file, exists in portable installations of N++, too ! After a quick search, I can confirm you that this file is present, in <Installation path of Notepad++.exe>\plugins\Config, since the v7.6.2 release ! Best Regards, guy038

  Since ScintillaStreams is something I wrote I can give you some tips. Reading 100 MB from N++ is going to take a few seconds, not matter how you do it. In order to not lock up the N++ interface you have to make sure you do the processing in a different thread, e.g. something like Task.Factory.StartNew(() => { var data = ScintillaStreams.StreamAllText(); while (line != null) { line = data.ReadLine(); //etc. } // Only interact with N++ on the main thread this.Invoke((Action)(() => { MessageBox.Show("The stuff is finished", "MyPlugin"); })); }); The way ScintillaStreams works is by getting a pointer to the N++ text buffer, and read it as “raw” as possible. This is likely going to crash horribly if the user modifies the text while it’s reading, so giving control back to the user is kind of a two-edged sword. I still feel it’s worth it though, the user experience is much better. Also consider showing the status of your progress somehow so the users feels something is happening. I don’t know why “the process never seems to finish”. A 10Mb file should take a second or so to read
