v7.9.2 NPPM_SETLINENUMBERWIDTHMODE

[PeterJones]

I am trying to implement the PerlScript wrappers for the new NPPM_SETLINENUMBERWIDTHMODE in v7.9.2.
I got the NPPM_GETLINENUMBERWIDTHMODE to correctly read the state of the Settings > Preferences > Margins/Border/Edge: Line Number toggle. But it seems to always ignore NPPM_SETLINENUMBERWIDTHMODE (or, rather, that message always reads as a failure (retcode = 0))

While debugging, I tried with both raw SendMessage from Perl, and using NppExec’s npp_sendmsg, and both seemed to fail on the SET, with the GET

Notepad_plus_msgs.h#L439-L450

#define NPPM_SETLINENUMBERWIDTHMODE (NPPMSG + 99)

  #define LINENUMWIDTH_DYNAMIC     0

  #define LINENUMWIDTH_CONSTANT    1

// BOOL NPPM_SETLINENUMBERWIDTHMODE(0, INT widthMode)

// Set line number margin width in dynamic width mode (LINENUMWIDTH_DYNAMIC) or constant width mode (LINENUMWIDTH_CONSTANT)

// It may help some plugins to disable non-dynamic line number margins width to have a smoothly visual effect while vertical scrolling the content in Notepad++

// If calling is successful return TRUE, otherwise return FALSE.

#define NPPM_GETLINENUMBERWIDTHMODE (NPPMSG + 100)

// INT NPPM_GETLINENUMBERWIDTHMODE(0, 0)

// Get line number margin width in dynamic width mode (LINENUMWIDTH_DYNAMIC) or constant width mode (LINENUMWIDTH_CONSTANT)

With NppExec

script:

cls
echo get original setting:
npp_sendmsg 2124 0 0
echo $(MSG_RESULT)
echo ---------------------
echo try to set to 0
npp_sendmsg 2123 0 0
echo $(MSG_RESULT)
echo and readback what I set
npp_sendmsg 2124 0 0
echo $(MSG_RESULT)
echo The 2123 (set) failed, and 2124 stayed with original value
echo ---------------------
echo try to set to 1
npp_sendmsg 2123 0 1
echo $(MSG_RESULT)
echo  and readback what I set
npp_sendmsg 2124 0 0
echo $(MSG_RESULT)
echo The 2123 (set) failed, and 2124 stayed with original value

When I have Settings > Preferences > Margins/Border/Edge: Line Number = Constant Width

get original setting:
NPP_SENDMSG: 2124 0 0
1
---------------------
try to set to 0
NPP_SENDMSG: 2123 0 0
0
and readback what I set
NPP_SENDMSG: 2124 0 0
1
The 2123 (set) failed, and 2124 stayed with original value
---------------------
try to set to 1
NPP_SENDMSG: 2123 0 1
0
and readback what I set
NPP_SENDMSG: 2124 0 0
1
The 2123 (set) failed, and 2124 stayed with original value

When I have Settings > Preferences > Margins/Border/Edge: Line Number = Dynamic Width =====

get original setting:
NPP_SENDMSG: 2124 0 0
0
---------------------
try to set to 0
NPP_SENDMSG: 2123 0 0
0
and readback what I set
NPP_SENDMSG: 2124 0 0
0
The 2123 (set) failed, and 2124 stayed with original value
---------------------
try to set to 1
NPP_SENDMSG: 2123 0 1
0
and readback what I set
NPP_SENDMSG: 2124 0 0
0
The 2123 (set) failed, and 2124 stayed with original value

With PerlScript

script:

print "==========\n";
print "0,1 => ", notepad->SendMessage( 2123, 0, 1), "\n";
print "get => ", notepad->SendMessage( 2124, 0, 0), "\n";
print "1,0 => ", notepad->SendMessage( 2123, 1, 0), "\n";
print "get => ", notepad->SendMessage( 2124, 0, 0), "\n";
print "1,1 => ", notepad->SendMessage( 2123, 1, 1), "\n";
print "get => ", notepad->SendMessage( 2124, 0, 0), "\n";
print "==========\n";

With dynamic, I get:

==========
0,1 => 0
get => 0
1,0 => 0
get => 0
1,1 => 0
get => 0
==========

With Constant, I get

==========
0,1 => 0
get => 1
1,0 => 0
get => 1
1,1 => 0
get => 1
==========

So, the GET message is working okay, but the SET message is not.
Can others confirm this behavior?
Or have I just misread the NPPM_SETLINENUMBERWIDTHMODE instructions from the source code, and I’m using it wrong?

If it’s real, I’ll open a bug report on the new feature, but I wanted to confirm before opening a bug report.

Is a bug I guess

	case NPPM_SETLINENUMBERWIDTHMODE:
		{
			if (lParam != LINENUMWIDTH_DYNAMIC || lParam != LINENUMWIDTH_CONSTANT)
				return FALSE;

should be && instead of || , right?

Yes, that would make more sense. I’ll file a bug tomorrow (really hard to do from phone browser)

Thanks for the research, @Ekopalypse
