title: Why are user types not highlighted in Visual C++?
body: <p>I would like to have Visual Studio highlight the names of my own classes in the text editor.</p>
  
  <p>I have selected a color under <code>User Types</code> in <code>Options &gt; Fonts &amp; Colors</code> -- but strangely, this only works for Visual C# but not Visual C++.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas what's going on?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I received some great tips regarding 3rd party tools in response to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1386674/syntax-coloring-of-own-types-in-visual-studio-c">my previous question</a>, but no answer as to why Visual Studio wouldn't provide this capability, or how to properly set it up.</p>
