I had a quick poke through NPP source… the main messageProc call (via _pluginsManager.relayNppMessages) is after the main “process message” Switch in NPPBigSwitch… but only for a few messages with “break”.

I don’t think the TB_CHECKBUTTON messages make it to the Big Switch though since it has the same 0x402 value as NPPM_INTERNAL_CMDLIST_MODIFIED already present there.

I’ll dig further if/when I get the chance!

Hello,@junaid-ahmad-khan

Please follow this steps,To Show TaskList option not working for Tasklist Plugin

Step 1: How To Install This Notepad++ Todo List Plugin

You can install this plugin from within Notepad++. Steps are, Notepad++ Menu Bar –> Plugins –> Plugin Manager –> Show Plugin Manager. In the “Available” section of the Plugin Manager, you
can find this plugin with name “Task List”. Click the check box next to it
and then click on Install button.
Step 2:- How To Use This Notepad++ Task Todo List Plugin

Notepad++. Steps are, go to Notepad++ Menu Bar –> Plugins –> Task List –> Show Task List. A Task List Navigation bar will be added on the right side of Notepad++.

Step 3:-
The syntax of the TODO task line is “TODO: task name” “TODO:” is the keyword, and “task name” is the name of the task. If “TODO:” is misspelled, the task will not be listed in Navigation Bar.

I hope this information will be useful for you.
Thank you.

So, here’s a procedure for “hacking” Notepad++ in order to get better-looking and easier-to-differentiate tab bar icons.

First, get what is needed, and put everything together in a temporary folder somewhere:

Obtain “Resource Hacker” from http://angusj.com/resourcehacker/
I chose the ZIP install, but whatever your pleasure.
Really what you need in this step is ResourceHacker.exe

Get some replacement icons, by downloading:
http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/famfamfam_silk_icons_v013.zip
Extract these files only: accept.png, lock.png, pencil.png

Use an online conversion tool to convert all 3 of the .png files to .ico files
One that I found simple to use was: https://icoconvert.com/
Name the resulting .ico files this way: accept.ico, lock.ico, pencil.ico

Also add to this collection of files a copy of your usual notepad++.exe file.

Next, and also in the same folder, create hack_npp_icons.txt with the following content:

[FILENAMES] Open=notepad++.exe Save=notepad++_hacked_icons.exe Log=con [COMMANDS] -modify accept.ico,ICONGROUP,501,1033 -modify pencil.ico,ICONGROUP,502,1033 -modify lock.ico,ICONGROUP,503,1033

Now, obtain a CMD.exe window in your temporary folder (not going to do a lot of hand-holding here) and run the following command:

ResourceHacker.exe -script hack_npp_icons.txt

If all goes well, you should end up with no error messages and a new file called notepad++_hacked_icons.exe in your folder.

Copy the hacked exe back to the folder you copied your original notepad++.exe from.

Now test-run the hacked exe (after closing any running instance of N++ of course).

It should start and any tabs on the tab bar should now have the alternative icons:

A “pencil” icon for modified but unsaved files:

A “green checkbutton” icon for saved files:
4833d989-8372-4dde-b990-7d042906abda-image.png

A “lock” icon for readonly files:

@Vitaliy-Dovgan

That is great news! Not that I think anything is missing in NppExec, but happy to see it is still actively supported. Thanks for a plugin I use everytime Notepad++ is open.

Cheers.

ok i see
[https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/8564](link url)
‘Keep selection when right-click outside of selection’ has been added, or will be added to the next NPP version (as an option).

So I will remove this specific feature from my
NotepadPP-PythonScript-Mouse_Select_Gesture script
once I have updated my NPP and tested the native option.

@PeterJones I ran the program as administrator, and plugins were not removed from me. I selected the necessary plugins, clicked “delete”, confirmed the deletion, and after restarting the program started again with the same plugins))) And I started Notepad ++ as an administrator. I could solve the problem myself: I just went into the folder, went into the folder with plugins, selected all the folders (except for the config folder, because the text editor would be unstable without it), moved it to the trash, then cleared it, launched Notepad ++ again and no plugins never saw again.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Want the ability to delete some context menu items from Doc Switch panel:

Snap3.jpg

Originally, I was going to develop a plug-in that would disable or change context menus, but after two days of holding onto it because of my poor knowledge of MFC coding, I decided to modify the source code of notepad++ and build it in Visual Studio Community edition. So I searched the source code files and found out which parts to modify. As you can see from the screenshot, I had to modify two files.

I finally succeeded in building the error code by using Google search power to search for the error code and correct the problem after half a day without being able to build it due to minor warnings and errors in the source code. The built ‘notepad++.exe’ file was overwritten in a folder that was already installed, and most of the menu items were removed as I wanted, such as a screenshot.

Before that, it was common to be embarrassed because it was difficult to predict which direction the tall context menu panel would be displayed vertically, or to accidentally press the “close all” item. I’m so happy that it didn’t happen anymore.

I turned off ‘automatic updates’, but even if I update them later, I’ll have to get the source code for the new version, modify it like this, and build it. If a competent developer develop and release the Doc Switcher as a single plug-in or, like I did, an advanced plug-in that has eliminated most of the context menu items, this inconvenience will be eliminated. But In my Google search, I found a lot of similar requests for improvement on DocSwitcher over the last five years. Judging from the fact that they haven’t been reflected at all so far, I don’t think I can expect much from now on. Thank you both for your answers.

“zencode” is an outdated plugin, I suggest installing the newer “Emmet” plugin from the same author!
https://github.com/emmetio/
https://emmet.io/

See https://www.scout-soft.com/combine/, you might request a 64 bit version from the author at info@Scout-Soft.com.

@Ekopalypse Thanks! I’ll check it out.

@WinterSilence

I guess so, did a quick test with PythonScript plugin and it seems to do
what it states it will do.

Do you suspect that this is not so?

@Bas-de-Reuver

You either use styles or indicators.
An example of how you can do this is shown here.

@PeterJones said in Calling .js script using c# for a Plugin:

embed JS in C#

Thank you!
I will give it a look :)

@moon6969

yes I see, I guess some kind of notification, as you wrote, is needed here.
The wording NPPN_PARAMETERS_CHANGED might be a bit misleading
as the mono-instance is still reporting its parameters correctly.
Maybe NPPN_DIFFERENT_INSTANCE_MERGED?
Native speakers - what do you suggest? :-)

@Guenther-Sohler

thit sounds like that you did not select an SDK when you installed Visual Studio, could that be?

@Ekopalypse ok certamente

@Alan-Kilborn The question is, do I correctly catch notifications or is there a better solution?
