NppCppMSVS version 1.2: A Visual Studio Project Template for a Notepad++ C++ Plugin

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

• Added a PowerShell script, ZipForRelease.ps1, to make zip files for x86 and x64 releases. This script is in the root folder, and it puts the zip files in the Releases folder under the root folder. It also adds hashes for the zip files to Releases\Hashes.txt; these are needed if you want to add the plugin to the Notepad++ Plugins List.

To install the template, download NppCppMSVS-1.2.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.
