Header files with no file type? (no .h)

[Nick Schultz]

Sorry if this seems like a noob question, but why do all of the header files in the codebase not have a '.h' filetype? The reason I ask is because it seems that Visual Studio won't highlight any syntax, or provide any of its features while viewing these header files (probably because they don't have a .h associated to it). Is there a way to have VS highlight syntax in these header files that aren't a .h filetype?

Thanks

Nick

Hi Nick,

You can enable syntax highlighting for extensionless headers :

, look
for "extensionless".

Cool, that worked!

Quoted from bouffa's link:

"Go to Tools-Options, then Text Editor-File Extension, check "Map Extensionless Files To" at the bottom and select "Microsoft Visual C++" in the list to the right. "

Thanks!
