Description of the Issue
Notepad++ currently provides the NPPM_CREATESCINTILLAHANDLE call for plugins to create Scintilla instances to be used in plugins. However with the move to Scintilla v5+, a plugin can no longer use SCI_SETLEXER since this has been removed by Scintilla.
Notepad++ needs a new API call so that Notepad++ can call Lexilla's CreateLexer() function and return the pointer to the ILexer object it to the plugin.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
- A plugin creates a new Scintilla handle using
NPPM_CREATESCINTILLAHANDLE
- Call
SCI_SETLEXER on the Scintilla handle
- Nothing happens since Scintilla ignores this message
