How to implement for marking on scroll bar and showing information

John Huang

Hi all,

I’d like to implement a plugin and two functions for my working.
I think it can let me work quickly.

like this:

Then I highlight particular string, it can show more information.

Is it possible?
If it can, please give me a hint, example code or docments.

Thanks a lot

@John-Huang ,

Yes, it is possible to write a plugin that gives extra information in a popup window.

I believe that a good example project might be the TagLEET plugin, with the original source code here or @Michael-Vincent’s fork here – although that’s a more-complicated popup window than the one you had in your screenshot.

I believe a simpler version could be implemented using the Scintilla feature “calltips” (where Sctintilla is the code library that Notepad++ uses to implement the editor portion of Notepad++, so you have access to all Scintilla features in your plugin.)
