NppCppMSVS version 1.4: 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++.

• Corrected errors in fromWide and toWide functions that could cause them to fail with very large strings.
• Updated files in the Host directory to Notepad++ 8.8.5 and Scintilla 5.5.7.
• Updated Nlohmann JSON for Modern C++ to version 3.12.0.

To install the template, download NppCppMSVS-1.4.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.
