    Hello,

    Is there any tutorial that explains how to create a plugin for npp from A to Z?

    Regards,

      There's a fair amount of information on the Wiki -

      http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=Plugin_Development

      There's also a template (although it's a little old), and check out the nppPluginIface library, which helps plugins do some of the things they have to do often (like keep track of open files and so on, depending what you want your plugin to do).  I can't remember the URL off hand, but if you search the forums for nppPluginIface or Plugin Interface library from almostautomated, you'll find it.

      Dave.

      Just updated the plugin lib to work with the latest source.  You download it from github.com/almostautomated/nppifacelib_mob

      There are example plugins and tuts in there.

      Hi,

      Thank you for your answers. I download the project from github.com/almostautomated/nppifacelib_mob but I cannot compile it. I miss some header file, hpp files, etc. I'm novice in c development. Could you try to compile it and send me a zip with the missing references?

      Thank you in advance.

      Regards,

      mathmax

      @Thell:
      If you think the information concerning your library on the Plugin Development page needs updating or complements... feel free to add them in.
