[C#] Dockable Dialog Write Text

[Sover the]

How do you write text on a dockable dialog?

I downloaded the C# plugin template and I currently have a dialog with a text input in it and I can’t seem to find anything on how to operate it, I want to remove the text input and write multiple lines of text to it, I’m pretty new to C# so any help would be much appreciated

Sorry, that’s not a question for this forum.
This forum is for discussion about Notepad++.

@alan-kilborn But I’m asking about how to make a Notepad++ plugin in the Plugin Development section right? Where should I ask it then?

Tricky, but I think your query has more to do with C# programing in general:

a dialog with a text input in it and I can’t seem to find anything on how to operate it, I want to remove the text input and write multiple lines of text to it, I’m pretty new to C#

If your query we more like :

“I know C# very well and I can’t find how to interface with this Notepad++ or Scintilla API to get some stuff to render some output”

Then you may find more help here.

• General C# questions => StackOverflow (or other)
• Specifics to Notepad++ and / or Scintilla API => maybe here

Cheers.

@sover-david Alright I managed to find it out, for anyone in the future trying to find the answer, dockable dialogs are made with the Windows Form Designer, you can open it by double-clicking the frmMyDlg.cs file in the Forms folder (should be simple to look up a tutorial on it)
