Description

Pascal wrappers around the core Notepad++ plugin APIs

Note

Since Notepad++ 8.4, plugins can provide external lexers by implementing the Lexilla protocol. At minimum, a lexer plugin must export a Pascal wrapper for each of the following:

• ILexer5 *CreateLexer(const char *name)

• void GetLexerName(unsigned int index, char *name, int buflength)

• int GetLexerCount()

There is a working example here.

Overview

Functions and Procedures

function isUnicode: BOOL; cdecl;

function getName: NppPChar; cdecl;

function getFuncsArray(var nFuncs: integer): Pointer; cdecl;

function messageProc(Msg: integer; _wParam: WPARAM; _lParam: LPARAM): LRESULT; cdecl;

procedure setInfo(NppData: TNppData); cdecl;

procedure beNotified(Msg: PSciNotification); cdecl;

procedure DLLEntryPoint(dwReason: DWord);

Description

Functions and Procedures

function isUnicode: BOOL; cdecl;

Always returns true

function getName: NppPChar; cdecl;

Returns this plugin's TNppPlugin.PluginName member as a pointer to a UTF-16 string

function getFuncsArray(var nFuncs: integer): Pointer; cdecl;

Sets nFuncs to the size of this plugin's TNppPlugin.FuncArray member and returns a pointer to it

function messageProc(Msg: integer; _wParam: WPARAM; _lParam: LPARAM): LRESULT; cdecl;

Handles Win32 window messages, and some editor notifications as well

procedure setInfo(NppData: TNppData); cdecl;

Handles all setup logic that needs a valid handle to the Notepad++ application window

procedure beNotified(Msg: PSciNotification); cdecl;

Handles editor events and notifications from Notepad++

procedure DLLEntryPoint(dwReason: DWord);

Initializes and (on shutdown) destroys the main instance of this plugin
