Hi
Thanks, I am using a different strategy to achieve how to know when to store the changes back into the DB.
I save as a file locally when I open the data from the database. (I did this anyway so the Tab Caption would have the correct name and to do comparisons with what is in the DB)
I save the local file again every time the user saves to the DB
I listen to the notification NPPN_FILEBEFORESAVE and save the data to the database. (user click the Save icon etc)
So if the user closes the application or a file that NPP knows needs saving and NPP asks if the user wants to save then the save is also stored into the DB.

Thanks
Jeff

@Matt-C why do you want to process these stuff? Do you want to make a .net based plugin or something different?

Hi Martin,
from my understanding this needs to be handled by the scintilla component
or you have to define your own user defined language using builtin UDL.

Cheers

@dail Problem is fixed - I believe it had to do with false implementation of folding… In any case I cannot reproduce this anymore, so I think it’s plugin specific.

Honestly you can probably use whatever you want as long as the user has the correct runtime/redistributable etc installed. Notepad++ is currently built with VS2013 but that doesn’t mean you have to use that in particular.

As for supporting XP, no idea.

In order to make a plugin backwards compatible, would a plugin have to first check the N++ version with NPPM_GETNPPVERSION and if it is less than v6.8.4 use L_JS and if it is v6.8.4 and greater, use L_JAVASCRIPT?

Yes, that’s right. L_JS is used for embeded javascript so only internal use in Notepad++.
