Notification for command state changes
-
My plugin toobar is interested in knowing when an NPP command with a state changes…
EG:
View → Word Wrap is turned on or off
File → Save is enabled or disabledCurrently I am hooking TB_CHECKBUTTON & TB_ENABLEBUTTON windows messages with SetWindowsHookEx, but hooks make me feel so 90s and a little bit dirty.
Is there currently a better way to do this?
If not, would it be best implemented as an NPPN beNotified notification?

there is this messageProc function. Maybe this is providing the info you need!? I’ve never tested it so far.
The save issue could be solved by subscribing to savepoint-left/reached notifications. -
I had a quick poke through NPP source… the main messageProc call (via _pluginsManager.relayNppMessages) is after the main “process message” Switch in NPPBigSwitch… but only for a few messages with “break”.
I don’t think the TB_CHECKBUTTON messages make it to the Big Switch though since it has the same 0x402 value as NPPM_INTERNAL_CMDLIST_MODIFIED already present there.
I’ll dig further if/when I get the chance!
