This project is not a part of Notepad++ and is not endorsed by the author of Notepad++.

  • Updated Scintilla files in the Host directory to Scintilla 5.5.5 (will be in Notepad++ v8.7.9).
  • Changed npp template in Framework\UtilityFramework.h to support enum arguments without casting.
  • Changed the name that shows in the Visual Studio project templates list to C++ Plugin for Notepad++.
  • Corrected installation instructions.

To install the template, download NppCppMSVS-1.1.zip and place it in the Visual Studio 2022\Templates\ProjectTemplates folder within your Documents folder. Don’t unzip it! The next time you start Visual Studio and choose Create a new project, you’ll find C++ Plugin for Notepad++ available as a C++ project template.

(If you don’t have the folder described above: Open Visual Studio 2022 and choose Continue without code; from the menu bar, select Tools | Options...; in the Projects and Solutions section, select Locations. User project template location shows the path to the correct folder in which to place the zip file.)

There is a help file, which is also included in the template.
