Intellisense C++ file with alternative extension

Hi fellow programmers,

I have a C++ file with the extension .inc that is getting included from another C++ header. My problem is that the intellisense is inactive for this file, all the text just showing up black. I am using visual studio 2015. I have looked everywhere inside visual studio with no luck.

Is there any way to activate intellisense for this file?

Thanks in advance, Jakob.

You need to tell VS that those .inc files are in fact C++.

Go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> File Extension and add your .inc:

You need to restart Studio, at least for version 2013.
