[new plugin] How to get the changed text by the user

[João Rosa]

Hi,
I’m developing a plugin that need to do some verification when the user type text (or delete). However in Scintilla Documentation I cannot find the method to add a listener to it. I was expecting some event that I can listen and get the changed text.

Can someone point me the way, or it is not possible?

Best regards,

When you develop a plugin, you can receive notifications from Notepad++ (e.g. NPPN_READY). You also receive Scintilla notifications. One of these is the SCN_MODIFIED event, which tells you if text is being insert/deleted, etc and some information about it such as the position, and the actual text. That link to the Scintilla documentation should be enough to get you a good start.

Thanks,
