Syntax highlighting for files without extensions

Question

I work with some library headers that do not have the extension .h or .hpp . Visual Studio does not provide syntax highlighting or other functions for these files. Is there any way to enable them?

Answer 2

Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> File Extension:

Move files without continuing to: <Microsoft Visual C ++>
