Enabling IntelliSense in Visual Studio 2013 Express for C++ files with irregular extensions (e.g. .tpp)

Question

I am implementing a class template in Visual Studio 2013 Express with a header and implementation file. However, my implementation file (which has a .tpp extension) does not have IntelliSense enabled. Is there any way to enable C++ IntelliSense for this file?

Answer 1

Tools->Options->Text Editor->File Extensions. At least for syntax-highlighting, for compilation considerations, add them to the xml of the project or right click them and select and in the properties select the Item Type C/C++ Compiler.
