hide the horizontal line under collapsed blocks

[Stéphane Deschamps]

Hi,

I can’ t find how to hide the horizontal line under collapsed blocks…

It seem that’s the only way to control the look of this line is to change the text color… but I don’t want to do that… I just want to hide this line.

Does anyone have any solutions ?

This is not possible to do through any Notepad++ settings. You will have to use a plugin. For example if you install LuaScript and edit the startup script to:

editor1.FoldFlags = 0
editor2.FoldFlags = 0

This will do what you want.

Hi dail,

It works perfectly fine on a PC using Windows 7 64bit. And do exactly what I need. Thanks a lot ;)

However it does’nt work with my PC using XP SP3 32bit and notepad++ 7.5 :

• I downloaded your LuaScript.zip at https://github.com/dail8859/LuaScript/releases/tag/v0.7.0
• Then I copied the dll in the notepad folder “plugin”.
• When I open Notepad, a window “Exception” shows the message “Unknow exception”.
• And the plugin does not appear in the plugin manager.

If I delete the dll in the pluging folder and I try to install it with the notepad menu settings/import/import setting(s) :

• I’ve got the same window,
• then a second window “Win31Exception”, message : “An exception occured. Notepad++ cannot recover and must be shut down. The exception deails are follows : Code: 0xC0000005 Type: Access violation Exception adresse : 0x004A5F76”.
• Then a third window “Notepad++ crash analysis”, message “Do you want to save a dump file? Doing so can aid in developing Notepad++”
• A fouth window “Recovery iniating”, message " Notepad++ will attempt to save any unsaved data. Howerver, dataloss is very likely."
• A fith window “Recovery success”, message “Notepad++ wasable to successfully recover some unsaved documents, or nothing to be saved could be found. You can find the results at : C:\DOCUME~1…\Temp\N++REVOC”
• nevertheless the dll had been copied in the folder plugin
• but when I open Notepad++ I’ve got the same window “Exception”, message “Unknow exception”
• and your plugin does not appear in Notepad++…

Does you plugin usually works with XP SP3 ?

Does you plugin usually works with XP SP3 ?

In theory it should. The DLL is statically linked against the C++ runtime compatible with XP. Maybe someone has had luck running it on XP and could verify this.

In practice, I don’t know. I’m certainly open to pull requests to address any compatibility issues, however due to the age of XP I personally have no plan, need, or way of testing these kinds of problems.

Ok. Dont’ worry. Until another solution, I’ll work with the PC using Windows 7… unless you know another plugin like yours who do the same thing that I would ^^

I just checked this on my old Windows XP SP3 machine. I did not try LuaScript, but the PythonScript plugin works fine.

The versions available on this PC are: Notepad++ 7.4.2, Python 2.7.6, and PythonScript 1.0.8.0.

The statements suggested by @dail translated into Python are:

editor1.setFoldFlags(0)
editor2.setFoldFlags(0)

hi,

the PythonScript works perfectly fine with XP.

Thanks to both of you @NippurDeLagash and @dail

Hello @stéphane-deschamps, @nippurdelagash @dail, and All,

I’m quite late, but I’ve just verified, on my Win XP SP3 configuration and I can confirm, Dail, that the Lua command editor.FoldFlags works, as expected on Win XP :-)) For information, the interesting values are :

• editor1.Foldflags = 0 which suppresses any line drawing

• editor1.Foldflags = 2 which draws a line, above the first line of a block, if this block is expended

• editor1.Foldflags = 4 which draws a line, above the first line of a block, if this block is contracted

• editor1.Foldflags = 8 which draws a line, under the first line of a block, if this block is expended

• editor1.Foldflags = 16 which draws a line, under the first line of a block, if this block is contracted

Note that the default fold mechanism may be restored, using the 16 value !

Cheers,

@dail, thank you so much for your solution! Worked perfectly for me.
