      Hi everyone.

      Thanks to Don & all contributers - I’ve really taken a liking to npp - Nice and quick editor and the 7.4.2 version resolved my one major niggle by allowing the Find dialog to resize horizontally :)

      I am also impressed with the clean design & implementation… I’ve not touched C++ since the 80s, but in a few hours managed to hack a custom Find in File dialog that lets me quickly search different folders:

      Of course now I will need to re-build each time I want to upgrade to the latest npp version… so I was wondering if a plugin could modify/override/inherit the built in FindReplaceDlg as shown above?

      The requirement is to avoid having to open the Directory Combobox dropdown whilst maintaining separate histories for my current 3-4 projects.

      Cheers.

        in theory yes, a plugin can modify the dialog once get the window handle using
        native win32 api calls.

        About inheritance, from what I understand you cannot inherit/override the find/replace class
        but I’m not really a c++ developer so it might be that there is a way to do it.

        Cheers
