Make/trick Visual C++ into indenting macros structure properly

Consider these macros

#define BEGIN(Parent) void Process(){

#define ELEMENT(Elem) RegisterElement(Elem);

#define END }

When using them, Visual Studio will not recognize ELEMENT as part of a child code block and thus not indent it properly

BEGIN(ParentClass)   <--- hit ENTER here and carret will go below `B` in begin, with no indentation
ELEMENT(m_member)
END

Is there a way to trick Visual Studio, as in a way I could code my macros or maybe some helpful pragmas so that Visual Studio recognizes the opening and closing scope of RegisterElement function and thus indend ELEMENT entries properly? Thanks
