Capturing Scintilla notifications

[sebaogal]

Hi, I am kind of new in plugin development. I would like to know how can I capture Scintilla notifications for me to process them. For example, in a normal Notepad++ session, how can I capture SCN_DWELLSTART from my plugin and execute a callback?

I have seen some examples but I am still confused. One solution maybe is to create a new Scintilla handle, is this the cleanest one? Or maybe to use Python, but would like to avoid depending on other plugins.

I would really appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.

With a normal plugin DLL there is a function you must define that handles notifications from Scintilla and Notepad++

You can see an example C++ plugin here:
