Syntax coloring in Visual C++ 7.0 -- dotnet general

dotnet general : Syntax coloring in Visual C++ 7.0

We have source files with extension ".pc", which we would
like to be treated by the text editor as if they
are ".cpp" files for the purpose of syntax coloring. In
Visual C++ 6.0 we could do that with the Source File
Properties dialog, available via a right-mouse click on
the text editor when it was editing a file, which has a
Language dropdown edit box. But in Visual C++ 7.0
(Microsoft Development Environment 2002 Version 7.0.9466
and Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Version 1.0.3705 with
service pack 2 loaded) I can not find any way to achieve
the same effect. Does anyone know how turn on this
capability in Visual C++ 7.0 ?

Thanks in advance,

Not sure about VC++, but C# allows you to right click a file then
select "Open With..." -- it might work.

Hi Larry,

Please go to registry and add:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.0\Languages\File
Extensions\.pc
(Default) = {B2F072B0-ABC1-11D0-9D62-00C04FD9DFD9}

You¡¯ll find any file with extension .pc have c/c++ syntax highlight.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
HuangTM
